[Nfbf-l] Member-At-Large Chapter Interest?

[Judith Hamilton]

Holly & Sherri,

I think this is great. I am sure everyone recognizes how spread out Florida
is and so are the transportation options or non-transportation options. So
many people on the Free White Cane list are unable to trek in to the
closest chapter. With gas prices and having to ask for a ride that may be
25 miles or more via private vehicle; for a newly blind/visually impaired
person or someone coping for a while, it is just not feasible especially
when the driver you have in proximity has no interest in what you might be
interested in doing. It is all about power  a lot of times and most people
are not ready or may never be ready to add it to their plate of stress. It
certainly is a good proposal and I know a few people with Email addresses
that I will send this to so that they can ask more questions.
