[Nyagdu] yearly dues

[Marion & Martin]

Margo and All,
    Right now, I don't have an answer to this question, except to say that 
NAGDU currently gets no dues from its state division; however, what Cheryl 
says is technically true. Members of Chapters, Affiliates, and Divisions are 
de facto members of the NFB. When someone joins any part of this 
organization, they join the NFB, as there is no separation. the question we 
are attempting to resolve is what responsibility do the affiliate divisions 
have to the national division. This question will be answered by an ad hoc 
committee I have appointed that consists of representatives of the current 
affiliate divisions. These committee members should discuss this question 
with their grass roots membership for their input. Of course, these members 
are also urged to express their wishes to me.

Fraternally,
Marion Gwizdala
