Texas... I know they once had a seniors group/division.... but to our knowledge, it disbanded. But of course, maybe they have restarted? I've not heard that! (Would be good news!) I best contact glen Crosby.
And yes, all the seniors meetings are open to guests. I am the president of the Nebraska Senior division. You could pop in there! Shoot, try us all!
Thanks

Good afternoon Robert and everyone:
Yes, the meeting was a good one, especially the discussion about Rocky Bottom. Unfortunately, since I only have 11 days of vacation and five of state personal, that would not be feasible until I retire. The virtual one might be.
Did I understand you that we can call any of those seniors group numbers? The Texas affiliate has a seniors division, but it was not listed.
At any rate, I plan to join the group some time during the year or at next year's convention.
Thank you for the information, and have a blessed weekend!
Mary Donahue

Hi Linda H; Mary d, and other First Timers
In terms of FIRST TIMERS, this is my first Zoom Convention. Though, I've had a couple of dozen of the in-person type. Yup, a face-to-face version is sooo much more exciting and satisfying! Though both of these experiences are super worth it.
I'm happy all of you FIRST TIMERS had made the choice to join in. Like Judy mentioned, the event of all these caring, truth seeking, and sharing blind people sure can create an effect that is addictive!
And hey, think about becoming a part of one or more of the affiliate level senior divisions. Most of them meet monthly; not saying that you shouldn't also join the national level Seniors Division! Below I'll paste in a copy of the July calendar for our NFB Seniors divisions and Groups. Take a look at who they are. You'll find when their meetings normally occur, the numbers and times you need to call in, and more. (Several of them canceled this month's meeting, but... we all will be again meeting in August and on. Note: this calendar will always show on our national NFB Seniors Division's website; a link on the home page, or by request it can come directly into your inbox. And there is a bunch of other good links on our site. http://seniors.nfb.org
