[nabs-l] Local Chapters

[Tyler]

I belong to the Internet mailing list of the Michigan Association of Blind Students. However, they do not 
talk about much on that list, and they've only announced one conference call on that list (back in 
November). Either they need to hold more calls, or announce the calls they do have on the MI-ABS 
list.
