[nabs-l] Detroit Debrief

[Nijat Worley]

Greetings Rachel,
   Welcome to the National Federation of the Blind and I am glad you enjoyed 
your first convention. I hope you will continue to take advantage of the 
opportunities this organization provides, and get involved in our 
activities. Many of us are involved in this organization because of the 
inspiration and empowerment that it provides, and I hope that you can 
benefit from this organization just as much as we have. Anyway, from the 
sound of it, you have already connected with the NFB and for what it stands. 
As time goes on, and as you get more involved in the organization, you will 
have a better understanding of the NFB and its philosophy. I would encourage 
you to join your local NFB chapter and your student division in your state, 
if you have one. This will help keep you in the NFB mode, and it will give 
you the opportunity to continue to be a part of the organization. First 
convention is always the best. Anyway, please feel free to ask any questions 
that you may have in the future. That is what the NABS list is for. Once 
again, welcome aboard, and we are pleased to have you along. Also 
congratulations on your scholarship. That is just one of the benefits of 
being a part of this organization, but certainly not the most important 
reason for being a part of it. It is the true empowering philosophy of this 
organization that really matters in the long run.
   Yours,
   Nijat
