Darian and Fellow Federation-Builders,

I too am super excited about the 75 Days of Action initiative and what it
will bring. Here in Maryland we have an already strong affiliate complete
with vibrant chapters across the state. However, there are still parts of
Maryland which have not yet been touched by the message of the Federation. I
live in one such region and am currently in contact with blind people who
are interested in forming a new chapter here. I have been wanting to start a
chapter here for some time now, but have been dissuading myself from doing
anything about it because I was afraid there were not enough blind people in
my area to warrant its formation. However, as I have been working with other
Federationists in our affiliate on this project, I am finding that there are
blind people aplenty around here, though not many of them have joined the
Federation. They are nonaffiliated and looking for bline people with whom
they can network. When we have told them that we are working on starting a
chapter of the Federation here, most are excited and enthusiastic about
getting the chapter organized. What an exciting prospect! Keep your eyes and
ears open--there are great things coming out of Maryland!

Let's go build the Federation; 75 in 75!

  Hi all,
  
 My Friend Gabe Cazares said it best at the NABS meeting when he said "I'm
super excited"  when referring to the 75 days of action campaign.
 As you know, this campaign is more than just  words, it's actions.  
 We are building 75 new chapters and divisions and     strengthening 75
existing chapters  and divisions in 75 days!  oops.. I mean in less than 70
days because time is running out.
  Are you involved?  have you been?
  do you have something positive to share about it?
  I've heard many stories, even  quite a few from students who are  all on
board this effort and  this just   shows me that there is no reason why a
student can't get involved. 
 so  what about you?
  yes, I'm Super excited too! (Seriously)

  Let's go build the Federation!
  Darian
