[Nfbf-l] Gainesville Chapter News

[David Evans]

Dear Judith,

In a situation like this, it is in the power of the Chapter President to be 
about to appoint persons to replace or fill in the empty position until the 
next regular elections.
I hear you about the transportation issues, everybodys got them.
Try to find a meeting place that is central to your members, that you can 
get for free and contact your local transit provider to see how they can 
help you and your members attend meetings.
Our NFB chapter started taking a greater interest in our transit system and 
advocating for it and it's expansion and today we have better transit here 
in Palm Beach county.
Transit was our project and we have had an impact on it and now we get the 
rewqrds.

Good luck,

David Evans, NFBF and GD Jack.
