[Massachusetts-NFB] Cambridge chapter homework

I believe the purpose of the Cambridge chapter, is to support the policies and programs of the Federation, and I also believe it is the duty of us to reach out in the region, to bring more blind people into the fold, and to advocate for issues that are affecting blind people in this region, a Massachusetts and the state. Be that trying to get more companies to hire us, or to get stu Stuff that we know that is not accessible to become more accessible such as for example, Fenway went with a new radio receiver system that is a android touchscreen device that is not accessible to blind goers to the park.
Hope this answers the question. I very much enjoyed the chapter meeting on Monday, and look forward to attend my first in person one when we have the next in person.
