[nabs-l] Becoming a member of a local NFB Chapter.

[christopher nusbaum]

Sophie, yes; teens are welcome to become members of chapters! I have
the same problem with our local chapter. Unfortunately, we don't have
a chapter in our part of Maryland, and there probably wouldn't be
enough blind people to start one. The nearest chapter to us, the
Greater Baltimore chapter, meets about an hour away from me. I've gone
to a few meetings and am a due-paying member. I'd love to attend more
meetings, but would have to convince my parents to get up on a
Saturday morning and drive me to Baltimore (an hour's drive) for a
2-hour meeting that they probably wouldn't even be interested in—not a
very easy thing to do. * Smile! *

And second of all, the two nearest chapters are at least an hour's drive away, so if I could become a member, it would be kinda inconvenient to go there, especially since I believe most meetings take place in the evenings.
