>> sherri,
>> below is an article about the PB chapter for the florida channel:
>>
>> Palm Beach Chapter
>>
>> The Palm Beach Chapter is on the move. With a variety of activities and
>> outreach projects, our chapter educates and supports the blind in our
>> community. Many of our members volunteer their time with organizations
>> such as the Florida Outreach Center for the Blind, Area Agency on Aging,
>> and serve on legislative and transportation Committees.
>>
>> The chapter observed White Cane Safety Month by holding a demonstration 
>> at
>> one of our county's largest intersections. We navigated roads with six
>> lanes of traffic to increase awareness of the Law. Posters were displayed
>> and fliers distributed. A proclamation was obtained and a major 
>> newspapers
>> covered our event.
>>
>> Our Chapter is always represented at state and local events such as
>> Washington Seminars, TD-Day, state and national conventions. In fact, our
>> members were responsible for organizing transportation and rooms for
>> TD-Day. Our Chapter also hosted the 2009 State Convention and helped 
>> with
>> registration, coordinating the exhibit hall and chairing seminars. We 
>> have
>> donated door prizes and auction items for the state.
>>
>> Our meetings are lively and include guest speakers who address topics
>> like: crime prevention, new devices, break through in eye diseases, and
>> existing services. Our members are encouraged to share information and 
>> new
>> products. They are also encouraged to read N.F.B. publications and to 
>> join
>> the State's list serve. All meetings have literature and a 50-50 drawing.
>>
>> Our chapter obtained a grant which made it possible to publish a monthly
>> News Letter.   We do an annual mail-out and have a page on the N.F.B.F.
>> web site. We also have a telephone committee and send cards to sick
>> members.
>>
>> Our chapter is like a family and members are encouraged to share their
>> ideas. They work diligently and like to have fun. One event that we
>> recently held was an annual Holiday Party with gifts and a sing-a-long 
>> led
>> by a professional musician. Our chapter meets on the 2nd Saturday of each
>> month from 10:30 AM to 1:00 PM at the Grumpy Grouper Grill located at 224
>> N. 3rd Street in Lantana, 33462. Our members enjoy an opportunity to
>> socialize over lunch and share vital support and resources. Our Chapter
>> will continue reaching out to blind people and working hard to change 
>> what
>> it means to be blind. For more information about our chapter or its
>> up-coming activities, contact Patricia Hayes, President, at (561)
>> 478-0583.
