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.

We will be there. Just so all of you know, Marci told Betty and me that if
you payed dues in another chapter which we did that we don't need to pay
dues in the at large chapter. Les Fitzpatrick Piano Technician Ham Call
