[NFBWATLK] Members At Large Reminder

[mjc59 at comcast.net]

I may not have been clear in my communication about chapter dues. When a person pays chapter dues they are a member of the NFB at all levels. However, if someone moved to Seattle from Portland, and had paid dues in Portland but not Seattle, they would not be eligible to vote in a Seattle chapter meeting. The At Large chapter is a unique kind of chapter but according to its constitution a person must pay chapter dues in order to vote or hold office. I believe this to be true even if said person paid dues in a local chapter. Anyone who is a member of a local chapter may participate in discussions in the At Large chapter.

I hope this is helpful. I would be happy to discuss any questions.
