[Home-on-the-range] Fwd: Meet Pinky-

[Rob Tabor]

Has Pinky paid her membership dues? Does she get a vote? Don't these
searching questions just bowl you over? <lol>

> Hello everyone! The South-Central chapter's March social yesterday took
place at the bowling alley where we met Pinky...Pinky is Meg Silkie's new
hot pink bowling ball and the new partnership between  the two was
smashingly good...Meg made a lot of great strikes with Pinky making the rest
of us think we should reconsider allowing Pinky joining us in the future!
What fun we had...we really missed those of you unable to join with us in
the fun.

> February found us 20 plus strong at a favorite Mexican restaurant .
January we combined an important  evaluation of the cities latest bus route
changes and auto announce system. Feedback on every route was then submitted
to the cities metro transit system providing highlights of what's working
better for the blind and where some additional considerations need to be
addressed. This was followed up with food, of course (we love to eat here in
the Wichita chapter!) .
> 
> The reason the South-Central chapter has been making such an effort in
having monthly social opportunity goes further than the great fun we have,
the fabulous food we always find  but our commitment to "changing what it
means to be blind".  The communities that we live in are always surprised
that we get out and about to be seen around town having  such fun. It's
important to have these times to just eat, play  and laugh together. ..but
we miss you  - those of you who sometimes don't make it to our socials or
meetings. The National Federation of the Blind needs you just as much as we
believe you need the NFB.  Please know that we miss you and care about you
and hope that you will make the commitment  to join with us to make this
possible.  If you need a little more reason as to why the NFB is important
to support with time and energy, make sure to read the articles in March's
Braille Monitor about why it is important to be a member of the National
Federation of the Blind. Please feel free to call any of us if you have
questions - my number is 316-201-1323 to talk  or if you need help in
finding the contact info for someone in your chapter.

> What are some of the approaches that your chapter uses to make sure your
current members  know that it takes all of us to do the important work "in
the most positive and united  way? How do you attract new members and make
them feel welcomed and needed? I know there are many out there just wishing
for us to find them and introduce them to a new way of thinking and living.
Let's make sure  we do out part in being at the monthly meeting, special
events and conventions. We are more believable  when we make our
participation a priority.  Dianne
