First we have multiple opportunities to attend a discussion about a topic that you are interested in on Saturday afternoon. The At Large Chapter meeting is self-explanatory and members of that chapter have their annual election during the meeting so it is very important for the members to participate.

If you remember a piece of history, any event that shapes the NFBI to where we are today, or if you may know of some materials that would help us pull together our history we need your help.
