[nFBMI-Talk] Fwd: Can you get more involved in the fight for great transit?

Mon Apr 16 00:08:29 UTC 2018

Hello. The below message comes on the heels of a revitalized push for 
better transit in Southeast Michigan. In addition to the NFB of Michigan 
hopefully getting involved, there are some opportunities here for 
individuals to help out including internships for students with class 
credits this summer.

If you have any ideas of how we should get involved as an organization, 
please reply here or Email vp at nfbmi.org
