  Hello  Mike and List:
  Since  my birthday is fast approaching (10-2); I'm going to say my 
peace on
  the subject  once more about the need to attract youth and students to 
the
  NFB.
  We don't have  a student division in this state. We need one badly; 
and yet
  no one has  contacted me to discuss it besides Jacob and Jennifer and 
the
  nice
  support from  Kris; thanks. Even at almost 38; I am a student and will 
be
  for
  some time. I am  passionate about this and it must be done and taken
  seriously.
  I  hate to break this to all of you, but this is vital for our future. 
Who
  will  take our place when we move on?
  I  have been hearing from others that neither a student division nor a
  senior
   division is needed. I was also told a long time ago that we did not 
need a
  chapter in Bellingham either; but here we are. We are struggling but 
we are
  here.
  I  have made the choice to make the NFB part of my life and give as 
much of
  my  talent and experience as I can. I was told once that any 
organization is
  as
   strong as its weakest member. We have the potential to be strong. The
  choice
  is  in our hands.
  I  have made many strives in growth with my NFB & CFB families. I am
  attempting  to give back. Now as I start a new year at 38; I once 
again
  renew my
  commitment  to the NFB & CFB.
  Strength  is in our unity and membership. Please don't let this issue 
go
  Think about it;  where would we be with no Student division and 
senior
  division
  for the state affiliate?  We don’t have a future if we continue to 
choose to
  neglect these segments of the  population. We must stop stalling and 
get
  these
  divisions off the ground. Please  help assure the future of our state
  affiliate. This is one of the major reasons  why I am planning to come 
to
  convention.
