It has been expanded and now includes members who are also affiliated with a local chapter. All who live in the state of New Jersey are welcome to become members. While we are a Federation of the Blind we also welcome like minded sighted members who believe in the equality of blind people and our advocacy efforts to eliminate obstacles in schooling, employment and all aspects of our lives.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>In a previous email I sent out a link to our At Large Chapter Membership form and as I said the form serves two purposes:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><ol style='margin-top:0in' start=1 type=1><li class=MsoNormal style='line-height:106%;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'>Collecting membership information for our connection database (developed by National)<o:p></o:p></li><li class=MsoNormal style='line-height:106%;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'>Paying dues via PayPal or debit or credit card. <o:p></o:p></li></ol><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:106%'><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:106%'>All who want to join the At Large Chapter please complete the form and pay your membership dues by PayPal, credit or debit card or mail a check (instructions enclosed).<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:106%'>All who want to continue their membership in the At Large Chapter please complete the form so we have your most current contact information.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:106%'>All who need to pay 2021 dues please complete the form and pay dues ($5) on line or mail a check.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:106%'><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:106%'>We encourage all who are interested to become active members and stakeholders in our Federation---by completing your membership form.
