[nabs-l] Local Chapters

[Darian Smith]

Hey NABS Family,
  As you already know, the National Federation of the Blind is an  organization of the blind speaking for themselves in all matters that concern the blind.
 We come together  to educate the public, elected representatives and ourselves about blindness and the true abilities   of blind people. 
 The most effective way of coming together is on the local level via our  chapters. 
 We have over 700 chapters last I heard and  chances are  that there is one near where you live or go to school.  If there isn’t a physical chapter there almost always is a at-large chapter in your state which meets via telephone.
 ?We believe there is no real  substitute  for the in-person interaction and bonding that comes from a local in-person chapter meeting, but the most important  thing is to connect.
  I’ve given this lon-winded introduction to ask you this question:  Are you a member of  a chapter? if so, what has your experience been? if not, what  holds you back from the involvement in a chapter that you desire.
  interested to hear your thoughts.
  Darian
