[NFB-Idaho] an exciting opportunity for our members and blind people around the state

[Donald Winiecki]

Dana,

I used Zoom at BSU regularly before the COVID-19 pandemic, and am using it
even more so now. While I'm sure Erin has got a good idea how to make it
work for the chapter, I might be able to provide some advice and perform
some duties with it to support the chapter.

Best,

_don
