[Mabs] DC, the NFB, and You

[Joe Orozco]

Dear Future DC Interns:

    It's no surprise many students come to DC to intern over the summer 
season.  If you've never been to the capital, or if you've never ventured 
out sufficiently during Washington Seminar, the place can appear 
intimidating.  For me, the largest intimidation factor was the subway 
system, but like the District, I have made it my own.  And I could not have 
done it without the patient orientation tips of friends inside and outside 
of the Federation.  If you're coming to join us in the next few weeks, 
remember about your DC affiliate.  We are on the verge of reinvigorating our 
membership, and we would love to have you join us for chapter meetings, 
informal orientation lessons or just the opportunity to shoot the breeze. 
In short, do not forget you have NFB family in and around the District to 
try to help make your work experience a pleasant one.  You can e-mail me 
off-list, or contact our president, Don Galloway, at:

    Looking forward to meeting you.

          Joe Orozco
