[Nfbf-l] attention: merry & marion

[Marion & Martin]

Carolyn,
    Thank you for thinking of the East Hillsborough chapter with this 
project. Because there are so many needs in the community, the Chapter 
limits itself to blindness-related projects;however, both Merry's and my 
churches participate in a homeless or food pantry outreach that we support.

Fraternally,
Marion
