[nfbwatlk] ACB Referrals

WOW! 

  Do the ACB folks not even take geography in school? Or do then New England
folks really think that they are the only thing that matters.

Subject: [nfbwatlk] ACB Referrals

Recently, I have been handling the voicemail messages on the NFBW telephone.
The other day we received a message from a woman who said that the ACB had
provided with our number.  The woman said that her daughter was blind and
would be starting college and would need financial help.  Since Rita is our
scholarship committee chairperson, I gave the name and number to her for
handling.

Rita telephoned me today saying that the woman lives in Maine, and her
daughter would be attending college in Tennessee.  Rita said that the woman
told the person with the ACB where she was living and where the daughter
would be attending college.  For some reason, the ACB provided the woman
with the NFBW telephone number.  Rita provide the woman with all of the
information, including the NFB national scholarship program.

Since speaking with Rita, I have spent a couple of seconds (only a couple)
analyzing this referral.  First of all, we can be glad that the woman now
has the correct information.  Secondly, this may be another example of
geography not being taught in our schools.  Or possibly, the state of
Washington is a New England State, which means that my geography knowledges
sucks.
