> Chapter, National Federation of the Blind took place at ST. Paul's 
> Episcopal Church from 11:25Am until shortly before 1:00PM. In addition to 
> the five persons in attendance we had one interested person linked in via 
> cell phone. We also had, connected by cellphone Charles Parker and 
> Patricia Tessnear, both Board members of the NFB of NC, and Wilson and 
> Edgecomb Chapter Presidents. We also had information that at least two 
> other people were interested but were unable to attend this meeting 
> because of prior commitments. After we introduced ourselves to each other 
> we had discussion as to why we needed a chapter here in Pitt County. We 
> also discussed the linkage between the local chapter, the state affiliate 
> and the national organization--These topics of discussion were entered 
> into by the two Board Members as well as those in the meeting room. 
> Following that, we talked some about current activities happening at the 
> State level and Nationally. After letting Charles and Patricia go, we 
> played the most current Presidential Release, pr399. Following that, we 
> agreed to meet again on November 19 at the same time and location. At this 
> upcoming meeting we plan to review (and hopefully adopt) a Constitution, 
> elect officers and collect dues.

> That's all for now but I am confident that soon we will have a new chapter
