<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Also, It should be noted that Jessica,
our coordinator of chapter development for the state affiliate,
has personally come to Greeley for the last two meetings we
have had, and she plans to come to others. We are finally getting more support
from the state, and this is definitely a good thing. However, with that said,
we, as a chapter of a larger state affiliate need to do our part to contribute
to the growth of the affiliate. If that means that we help in the organization
of divisions, or that we raise money to help support state affiliate and
national initiatives and our own members, then that is what we should do.
The NFB is a grassroots organization that didn't get to where it is by taking
and never giving back to the communities in which we have established chapters
or supporting those folks who support our affiliates with their valuable time
and efforts. Let us keep this in mind as we work toward the growth and
betterment of not only ourselves as people who happen to be blind, but also as
members of a thriving organization that gstands up for our rights and gives us
the support that will hopefully, one day allow us to be treated equally in this
country! We not only need to work as individuals to help where and how we
can, but we as the NFB of Greeley Chapter, a proud chapter of the Colorado
affiliate of the National Federation of The blind also need to work to further
our goals. This is not, nore has it ever been an organization from which we can
simply take and not give back, and we should not treat it as such. I would hope
that no member of this chapter feels that they are entitled, and that everyone
who claims to be a member of our chapter would feel the same sense of
responsibility to help our chapter, the state affiliate, and ultimately
our entire national organization grow and thrive through our
actions both as individuals and as a group. Just my thoughts
again...</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>First you said "the state will not give much

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>then you said "Especially now that we are getting

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hi all.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>as a chapter we need to raise funds for things
that we want to do.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>the state will not give much assistance for
convention.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>So we need to work together and raise money for
the future.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>the chocolate bar fundraiser is a great
idea. But we need to have everyone participate. Right now if
everyone buys a bag of chocolate chips, or candy melts or anything that will
fit in the molds. We have four sets of molds now and each mold makes
two bars each.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>also we will need to raise money to do more
things in the community such as the visio faire/expo, attending state
convention, going bowling, another chapter picnic, going to state board
meetings, donating to the senior center, christmas and easter things for the
community, and so much more.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Marty and I still have a few water
bottles. That need to be sold.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Jessica when is the next open board
meeting?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>We should attend as a chapter</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Especially now that we are getting more support
from the state.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Sincerely,<BR>Melissa and Pj<BR>Happiness
always looks small while you hold it in your hands, but let it go, and you
learn at once how big and precious it is. </FONT></DIV>
