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

[Brian Miller]

Hi Tiny,

I have always liked to set up meetings at public libraries -- they usually
have meetings rooms for free, but you usually need to sign up month to
month, and sometimes the room may not be available.

Still, I always prefer to be somewhere out in the public and not in a school
for the blind or a blind facility.

Good luck,
Brian Miller

First off, I'm pleased to be back on the NFB lists after a long break.

To get right to the point: I'm doing research into possible alternative
locations for our local chapter meeting, should our current location, a room
at the State School for the Blind, no longer be available. I also recognize
that while some chapters have an ideal meeting place near an NFB training
center, others don't have that benefit.

What other locations have local chapters found for meeting places, and how
much have they needed to charge? How did your chapter decide on this
location?

When does your chapter meet, and for how long?

What program items do you include at your chapter meetings, and how do you
keep things interesting so that members will keep coming back?

If you have any ideas on how you've answered these questions, I'd be open to
hearing from you. Thanks.
