[nfb-talk] Transportation Plans for Hard to Access Chapters

[Kendra Schaber]

Hi all! 
Oregon also has an at large chapter for anyone living in the bunies or who can't access a chapter in the cities or someone who lives in a city that doesn't have a chapter. I believe they meet on the phone and meet at the Oregon state convention and the Oregon legislative seminar. I think you'll have better luck going the at large route. 
Good luck!!! 
Blessed be!!!

This chapter meets via conference call and for some of the members who live close, they get together for some things. At our state convention, this chapter holds a face-to-face meeting; usually over breakfast. Not sure how far your prospective members live from one another, but this might be a possible solution. Good luck! Keep us posted on your progress.
