[Massachusetts-NFB] Following up from a Perkins Alumni Association event today on mention of Lion’s Club.

[Adam Roberge]

Hi Stephen, that is great that Perkins is also working with the alliance clubs. I like to also go to my events and I’ll be happy to come on November 5.
I also met a guy from the Norfolk clients club at Wakeen day yesterday
I’m glad you got to talk to Shirley as well

Just figured I would send this along, considering at both the Cambridge chapter meeting, and the board meeting there was discussion about Lion’s Club and about how they were not doing too well with blind people joining the clubs. I think this might be a step in the right direction with this partnership.
