> Hi Mike and all other interested listers,
I have been reading this list and have dewcidied to comment on what 
didn't happen here in Indiana. I first  joined the NFB over 2 years 
ago. The first time our chapter organized, I sent in a letter to the 
national office letting them know who was elected to office etc. i 
did this becaise I was elected secretary. Well to move on with the 
story, the chapter president quit and then we re-organized.  I was 
then elected treasurer. After letters once again being written to the 
national office we had no response again.    We were a small 
fledgling chapter with not any money to donate at all.  Our chapter 
has since dissolved due to lack of communication with the national 
office, we were never even posted in the Braille Monitor . There was a 
lack of communication with other NFB officials in Indiana as well.
So I do dissagree that the national office keeps taps on its chapters 
and state affiliates, because if it did we would of not given up now. 
  Our state does have a chapter development committee now and one 
dear lister has sent me many letters and offered to help but it is 
too late. , one cannot have a chapter with only one member.      Deb 
& Mel
