[Nfbf-l] NFB Newsline app now available

[Holly]

I want to see how many NFB members know their IDs or something about Newsline and have a special drawing to the person who can answer the trivia question or something like that. What do you think?

Daytona has not had a paper up since March, are we paying National and what can we do about this issue?
It's hard to sell Newsline here since the local paper is having issues.
