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

[Kaiti Shelton]

I would love to be part of one. I did go to a few Cincinnati chapter
meetings when I was in high school and was a due paying member for a while,
but since both my parents worked late and there are no buses in the suburb
where I live getting downtown wad hard. Now that I go to school in a
different city I'm not sure which chapter I should belong to. I brought
this up to the president of tthe chapter where I go to school, bit he never
got back to me on it.
