[NFBJ] [Nfbj] Introduction and getting to know fellow members

Mon Jan 29 02:07:14 UTC 2018

David,

If by organized activity, you mean something akin to nabs for blind Jews, no, there is not, so there is no so-called division president who would, by rights, be the moderator. It would be one of us, the people who are posting on this list now. I will volunteer for the job, if nobody else wants it.
