[Arizona-students] AABS monthly meeting

[Arielle Silverman]

Hello all,

    Just as a reminder, the monthly AABS meetings are small regional 
gatherings designed for blind students living in a particular region of the 
state to meet, socialize, network, and become more connected to the NFB. 
Another purpose of the meetings is to build up active membership in these 
areas in order to get larger and more diverse turnouts at our statewide 
events (spring seminars and state convention).

    Because of the regional nature of these meetings and their frequency, we 
weren't planning on organizing any AABS-sponsored transportation for people 
from other regions of the state to travel to and from the meetings. That 
said, anyone is welcome to come to the meetings or to informally organize 
transportation. If there are some AABS members who want to organize a 
carpool of some kind and would like AABS to help with funding, just let me 
know your plans and we can decide how best to fund the effort. But I believe 
that we will use our resources most wisely if we reserve elaborate 
transportation planning for our bigger, statewide events. To use an analogy, 
these monthly meetings should be like chapter meetings, which are geared 
toward a certain geographic region but are open to the public, and our 
spring seminars are like the state convention, where we bring together 
students from the various regions of the state.

    As always, this is a work in progress, so we welcome any input on or off 
list about how to make the most of them.
