Hi Scott,<br>
I had posted the resolutions that I had worked on and that went
before the general assembly. It is true that their needs to be more
follow-up. I am working on a Resolution for the Maryland Affiliate
State Convention in November. I hope that my health holds out for
me to do it. though.<br>

<div>Hi Janice.</div>
<div>Scott Labar caknoledged the need for a DB devision in
Colorado and said that the DB are underserved during the general
session after I spoke. There were 14 of us at the DB gathering
after general session, 9 of us were DB. So some state presidents
do see the need, it's just a matter of getting stuff together.</div>
<div>As for the national DB Devision, one issue I've noticed is
lack of communication with DB devision members. For example,
during both the 2013 and 2014 national conventions, there were
resolutions the DB devision "jed hard to pass, but nothing of
this effort was ever mentioned on this mailing list. I would
have gladly lended my support, but I had no idea what was
happening. I think part of what needs to happen is that the
officers moving forward with actions need to be more public
about these actions which will also encourage more people to get
involved.</div>

<div>Hi Chris and Scott, and everyone out there in cyber
land,</div>
<div>Yes this is a very very good point. Just like with
other organizations who are not as open as they should be,
NFB DB should have that openness. we should be visible.
Many of the other divisions, or groups or affiliates have
facebook pages, or twitter accounts, or other social media
outlets. So should the NFB DB division. </div>
<div>This will be a major gola of our affiliate division
once the constitution is approved. </div>
<div>Having a social media view, would possibly bring people
into the organization, would help everyone know what the
organization is doing, and keep everyone on the same
page. </div>
<div>What does everyone else think? I will do what I can to
help. </div>
<div>My time is limited as I am back in school, but winter
break is coming up. </div>

<div>Hello Sheri and all other DB devision
members.</div>
<div>I'm replying to your message on list, as I
think it is good that other people see who is
doing what and where they are doing it. I
think one thing the national DB devision needs
to do is get digital. What I mean is, get on
Facebook, Twitter, get all of the officers on
this mailing list, start a news letter,
publicize the website, etc. This is just my
opinion, but I do not think many of us are
aware of what is happening within the national
DB devision. If members do not know, how can
that help with any sort of effort regarding DB
issues? I'm not trying to criticize the
leadership with this email at all, so I hope
this message is not taken that way, I'm just
offering input and suggesttions.</div>
<div><br>

<div>Hi greeting,</div>
<div>The NFB DB national is trying to
reach out to all NFB affiliates to
establish an interest in the nfb db
in all the states. It is called
"Operation Outreach". If you or
someone you know is interested
please let us know. Each of the
active members have states that they
are trying to find a contact person
in that state who will work with
their affiliate president on matters
of deaf/blind.. </div>

<div>Thank you for your support of the
