All Members.
Well that is why I have emailed and mentioned this at the national convention and here on the talk list and on Facebook and Twitter. We need to know dates and times that work for members. We have done them almost every day of the week and on the weekends there will never be a date and time that will be perfect but participation on this list. Being involved division even if you cannot attend a meeting.
Such as 90% of our members voted on the New York State trip Vs. Savanah, GA  and we have to cancel it because either no one posted their deposits or asked their friends and family.
Or when we are planning these trips no one puts their 2 cents in. So the officers decide what we do.

Have a great day all.

Good afternoon all members:

Please reply, whether or not you will be attending the monthly division meeting to travelandtourism at nfbnet.org <mailto:travelandtourism at nfbnet.org>
, this is our talk list. Monday, January 18, 2016 at 7PM Eastern, 6PM Central, 5PM Mountain and 4PM Pacific time, is our 1st teleconference call of 2016 all are welcome especially our paid members. Call in number is (641)
715-3273 and the access code is 871517#.

We ask this because, we would like to know the reasons why you will not be attending. If we do not have people attending then we will not have a meeting that night it will be cancelled due to lack of participation. I am sorry to sound angry. We are concerned not angry, but we are wondering why, members pay their dues and still do not participate. This is not only through this division, but affiliates and chapters meetings as well. If you are not members you are certainly welcome to attend our meetings, but courtesy is what we ask of you, and not to insult or bash.

Since we have had monthly meetings since 2012, and at all of the meetings it is primarily the officers. We know what is going on, and we need your participation to grow and be more involved in this division.

We have changed dates, times, etc! We still only get maybe 1 member to come to meetings.

So please reply, again, if this upsetting you to read, believe us, it is very upsetting to do. We need to build the Federation. "Let's Go Build the Federation"

Cheryl Echevarria, President

National Federation of the Blind's Travel and Tourism Division

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can have the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.
