ITEM # ONE:

The Montana State legislature, updates and reports.

We may hear about items that members of our affiliate are working on. 

And perhaps you members will have things you will wish to bring up.

An open discussion on various topics that may be of interest in the
blindness community is always welcome. 

 

ITEM TWO:

Dues reminder.

It being now the year 2019, this is the time of year to renew your NFB of
Montana membership dues.

You may do so by sending your annual 5 dollars individual annual dues to our
affiliate Treasurer, Ted Robbins. Here is the mailing address:

 

National Federation of the Blind of Montana

P.O. Box 1325

Great Falls, MT 59403

    Website:  www.nfbofmt.org 

      Phone: (406) 438:1421

 

You may be aware, that currently the national organization is having a
membership campaign. And they are sending out these wonderful NFB medallions
to the members. So, if you need another incentive, this is certainly one. 

I am told they are a very nice item to have, and the state will notify
national and send you out one.

Also, you may not know, but there is a LIFETIME membership option with our
affiliate. For a one-time payment, of 100 dollars you can be assured that
you are always a paid up in good standing member. And certainly this is
useful for our state's treasury.

 

Perhaps as a chapter, we could discuss whether we would like to have chapter
dues?

Our current treasury is $123. These fund were completely accrued from
donations. These are welcome too. Contact me, to give you instructions, to
send them to Linda Hurlock, Chapter Treasurer.

 

I thank you in advance for your interest and your support.

The Federation is yours, and the stronger we are the more good we can do.

Sincerely,

Your chapter president, Rik James of Bozeman
