Hey Aziza- skip the beer. We don't promote under age drinking.

Aziza, 

The other day you asked if I had any suggestions as to how you can bring
your local ACB/NFB chapters together. 

I would suggest that you start small, and that you start with strictly
social events.For exmple, get 2-3 NFB-ers, and 2-3 ACB-ers, and go out for
pizza and beer. After doing this 2-3 times, if all goes well, then people
will begin to see the "other side" as not being evil; people will begin to
develop trust and respect for the other side. At that point, then you can
begin to talk buisness. 

So much of the biggetry and hate in this world stems from not unfamiliarity
with the "other side". When people are unfamiliar with the other side, they
tend to view the others not as people, but rather as symbols of the other
side. It is much easier to hate someone when you already dehumanized them.

So, my suggestion would be to begin fostering and developing interpersonal
relationships, and the rest might follow.
