>>> 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.
