If you don\u2019t pay your electric bill, you don\u2019t get in Services response I five dollars helped keep zoom going and our meeting going and also keep you connected with us and the national Federation of the line so you are involved by being active and helping remember your Voice account dislike everybody else\u2019s just because you can\u2019t be in person which is only once a year at National does not mean your voice count so please keep up the good work maybe with technology improving it would change as far as voting. That\u2019s something that National has that we have to follow. It may change later down the line with technology getting better just like everything else I hope hopefully, see you tomorrow night.<br id="lineBreakAtBeginningOfSignature"><div dir="ltr">Sent from my iPhone</div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On Oct 2, 2025, at 7:02\u202fPM, Stuart Salvador via NFB-DB <nfb-db@nfbnet.org> wrote:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr">\ufeff<div dir="ltr"><div>How can anyone who is homebound fully participate in division activities when we can't be allowed to vote even if we pay the same as any other members?<br></div><br>EOM</div><br><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Oct 2, 2025 at 7:56\u202fPM Steve Hammond via NFB-DB <<a href="mailto:nfb-db@nfbnet.org">nfb-db@nfbnet.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto"><br id="m_-6487538262208441141lineBreakAtBeginningOfSignature"><div dir="ltr">Sent from my iPad</div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On Oct 2, 2025, at 1:56\u202fPM, Jessie via NFB-DB <<a href="mailto:nfb-db@nfbnet.org" target="_blank">nfb-db@nfbnet.org</a>> wrote:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr">\ufeffI REQUEST ASL INTERPRETERS AND LIVE CAPTION ( CART ).
