>> Ricky,
>> are you the president of
>> TNAB? I see your phone number and email are listed. Do you mind if I 
>> contact you off list to discuss sports adaptations? I might also ask the 
>> nfb chapters around here and if there is enough interest we could start a 
>> chapter of usaba. As the NFB members do not strike me as athletes and do 
>> not have an interest there, I suspect it will not go anywhere, but worth 
>> asking.
>> I'm curious to know how you all stay active. With getting blind people 
>> together you deal with logistics like transportation, finding facilities 
>> to host the events, etc. So how do members get to your events and how do 
>> you all fund such activities? I mean all these wonderful activities cost 
>> money. Also I love your idea of reaching out to PE  teachers because too 
>> many of them have no clue how
>> to assist a blind student in their class!
>> Many of them probably do not mean to be non inclusive but have no clue 
>> what to do.
