[Arizona-students] nfb is great locally

[Allison Hilliker]

Gabe, I'm so excited that you want to become a member of the NFB of
Arizona!We appreciate the below compliments and would look forward to having
you join us.

My only request would be that you tone down the criticisms a little.  It's
good that you express differing opinions sometimes, as the ability to
question is a sign of an intelligent person, but sometimes if one makes
their opinions known in a polite way, others will be more likely to respond
to their opinions in a positive way.  If people think you are generally a
nice guy, they'll be more likely to want to hear what you have to say.  I
hope that makes sense.

Aside from that, I think you will be a great addition to the NFBA.  We
strive to be a productive group that does useful work on the local, state,
and national levels.  We're always glad to have someone new who would like 
to
join us in any of those areas.

In order to pay your dues to become a member of the NFB of Arizona, you can
write our treasurer, Donna Silba, at
dsilba at cox.net.

  She will be able to give you exact instructions on how to pay.  I believe
you are in Phoenix, so I think you would like to be part of the Phoenix
chapter.  Donna is the treasurer for that group too, so she can help you get
signed up for that.  Also, if you'd like to talk to the chapter president, I
can give you her contact info.  Her name is Vicki Hodges and her E-mail is

vjazz at extremezone.com.  Sometimes she's hard to get by E-mail, so if you
don't hear from her in a few days, E-mail me off list and I'll give you her
phone number.



If you can make it out to Peoria, you can join my chapter, the West Valley
chapter.  I think we're a great group, but of course I'm biased.  I think
it'd be fun if you'd join us.  We have a meeting this Saturday.  I won't be
there this month since I'm going to the NFB's Washington seminar, but if
you'd like to know, just let me know and I'll get you the info.  I know
Peoria is hard to get to, but I think our president has some kind of
dial-a-ride setup for Phoenix people to get to the meetings.  I'd suggest
the bus, but it doesn't go into this part of Peoria unfortunately.



Anyway, it's late and I need to get some sleep, but I hope this message
was helpful to you.



Again, I'm glad that you are interested in joining the NFBA.



Best,



Allison Hilliker
