> The Membership Committee needs your help! This coming Sunday , August 18th, we will begin hosting the Open House calls that President Riccobono spoke about at our national convention this year. We need your help to get the word out to those who may be interested in becoming a member but would like to know more about the National Federation of the Blind. You can help by making sure that your chapters are putting information out to your social media outlets. To better help you to do so the Communications team has put together a tool kit for you with templates that you can use on social media. I have attached and copied the tool kit to this message.
