Dear List, and especially Carl Jacobsen
I think there are some broken links on the chat site there.  Hi, 
this is Beth.  Just a message for Mr. Jacobsen, Carl Jcobsen.  
There are a ton of broken contact links.  It would help if there 
was an email or phone number in each of those links.  Please fix 
those if you don't mind.
The reason I am writing this is that some friends of mine would 
like to see a presentation or two at NFB live.  I think it would 
help the teenagers in the group if we did a presentation on 
bullying, exclusion, and how to deal.  I've been excluded from 
peer groups.  As someone who found the NFB by acident, I know 
firsthand what it's like to be isolated and that geographically, 
I was unable to find a chapter in Brevard County and Titusville.  
The only people who did NFB activities in FL Brevard County were 
the Naultys.  Joe and Arlene.  Well, they live in Melbourne from 
what I could tell, but you can't have a chapter with only three 
people.  I was a member of Denver and Daytona's chapters.  Face 
this fact, though, I was excluded from my peer group in high 
school, and exclusion still affects adults too.  I think we need 
to also understand that folks with cognitive differences are 
excluded due to their disabilities, so I think I would like to 
contribute my experience with that.  Thanks.
Beth
