[Nfb-lions] New member intro and penpal magazine

Sun Feb 16 13:28:51 UTC 2014

They are also on twitter, linkedin, facebook.
The e-mail comes out during the week, they have a pen pal e-mail and the magazine information e-mail. No they do not produce it in braille any longer but they do have it via e-mail

They do pen pals, and I know some of the reporters here in NY. Like Romeo Edmeade and I did an interview for them in 2012.
