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

[Darian Smith]

HI Sophie,
 our local chapters are open to blind people of all ages, as well they are open to sighted folks  of all ages.  The only requirement (it hardly becomes an issue) is that our chapters be mainly composed  of blind individuals, and that  the primaryr leadership offices are held by blind people.
 Does your state have an at-large chapter?

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.
