>> Hi Gil,
>> I have been thinking of the chapter a lot lately.  I have several 
>> patients
>> who are blind............they think that their life is over now.   I just
>> referred one to NHAB....and he was so excited....then he was told that he
>> had to have vision in order to see the keys to used a voice activated
>> computer....he is crushed!!!!!! UGH!
>>
>> I am in favor of paying the $50.00 and would be appreciate if you would 
>> give
>> the report.  I wish that we could re-activate the chapter........I am
>> limited now due to health issues but am interested in pursuing this.  I 
>> know
>> that Betta really misses the support and think that she may be interested 
>> in
>> being active again also.
>>
>> Thanks so much to you and Julie and Kylie for all your efforts with the
>> magic show....great job! Wish I could have been there.  The tech show was 
>> a
>> smashing success...congrats!!!
>>
>> Also, been meaning to write to the chapter re Brandon Wentworth. He has 
>> had
>> cancer for several months now. He had a full-time job at Wal-Mart and had
>> short-term disability for a while.  He thought he had long-term 
>> disability
>> but because he didn't read the fine print, he did not have long-term.  He 
>> is
>> without income now and his mother has been very concerned for the family.
>> She has been asking that someone do some fundraising. I just can't do 
>> that
>> now....but I was wondering if the chapter would consider making a 
>> donation
>> and perhaps he would come back to our chapter too.
>>
>> I am in favor of meeting.

>>> Greetings to all NH NFB North Country Chapter folks:

>>> I hope everyone is doing well.  Maybe a goal to start the New Year will
