We have a chapter<br>that meets in Milford, the Southern Connecticut Chapter. Most NFB members<br>from Bridgeport attend this chapter. The meeting location at the Fowler<br>Memorial Building in Milford is half a block from a major bus line and maybe<br>two blocks from the Milford Metro North train station. And yes, I am a<br>member of the chapter.<br><br>We usually meet on the second Saturday of the month at 1:30 P.M. or 2:00<br>P.M. However, in December our holiday party is on the first Saturday,<br>December 3; our January meeting, on January 14, will host the affiliate<br>board meeting and will begin around 11:00 A.M. and probably end around 2:00<br>P.M. or 3:00 P.M.
