But also I’m saying … First and foremost, I believe that a blind senior would be best served in Federationist, <i>“living the Life you want,”</i> in a localized group/division, or chapter; with your Homies. Like we in Nebraska with our NFBN Senior Division, or the Seniors divisions in New Jersey, or Kansas, or any of the rest of our affiliate divisions and groups. And so why attend, or join, or give money to the NFB Seniors Division at the national level? Because it exists to span our entire country/Federation, by having the potential of its members being from all affiliates, and any existing Seniors Division or Group found at the affiliate level. Yes, some of what happens with the National Seniors Division is very similar to what goes on in the Nebraska Senior division, or any other affiliate level group you wish to name. Like, there are some informational phone conferences, with great information and discussion; trying not to up-stage, but to add to the topics being presented by the affiliate level monthly calls. Then, there is the Senior Retreats, being offered by our national Seniors division, providing an opportunity for training in blindness related independence skills, and philosophical development; where some of us do not have this option in our home states. Plus, this group of Federationist, with many of us also being leaders at the affiliate level, have a focus on supporting the affiliate divisions and groups by offering coordination and sharing of information and, meeting topics, a calendar of our events, and more. And one more thing I’ll add here, is that we are a voice that can catch the ear of our national organization’s leadership; though we know that from the president’s office down, our leaders do listen to all its membership. Yup, the NFB Seniors Division at the national level is just another example of the multi-level support that our Federation has for its membership. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>#2 Here is the text of the latest reminder from our NFB Seniors Division’s, Membership Chair, Wayne Marshall:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>Hello fellow Senior Division Members,<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>Some of you have already received an email from me regarding our national convention.
