[nfbwatlk] [Cccnfbw] hi from an interested new member

[Marci Carpenter]

Hi Eden,

Welcome to Washington and to the NFB of Washington. I think you will find the Clark County chapter, and the NFBW, to be a very friendly group of people. Betty Watson is the local chapter President. I will make sure she sees your email address.

We would be happy to talk with you about regab services in Vancouver. Please call me any time. I would love to visit with you.

Marci Carpenter, President
NFB of Washington
