[nfb-talk] Need Advice: Chapter Meeting Locations and Programming

[kaye zimpher]

Hi, Welcome back.
My chapter the Atlanta metropolitan Chapter meets at a library. We have met 
at 2 different ones since I began going to chapter meetings and from what I 
understand, there is no charge. The problem that sometimes comes up is that 
the meeting rooms book up fast so it is a good idea to reserve a few months 
at a time. We usually have different speakers from the community at our 
meeting for a little program. We have had for example a blind travel agent 
and a rep from the red cross just to name a couple. Hope this helps.
Kaye
