[Job-Discussions] NFB BUILD Program

[Dick Davis]

Dear List Members,

Okay, if you reread the instructions for this list, criticizing others is
not permitted. Nor has this list ever been a vehicle to criticize the NFB.
If you are not a member of the NFB, you are on this list as a guest. If you
are a member of the NFB, you should know better.

I stated in my post that this was a volunteer opportunity. Volunteer
opportunities can be a way to build a resume and work history. Plus, this
one really helps other blind people, and it helps you too.  The NFB is a
volunteer organization.  For example, I put in hundreds of hours of work a
year and are not paid anything for it. If you have no interest in
volunteering, just let posts of this type pass you by.

If you have anger management problems, please attend an anger management
class. Everyone who joined this list chose to do so, and I suspect they
don't want to listen to a bunch of complaining.

Sincerely,
Dick Davis, Chair
NFB Employment Committee
