I know that Mike Duke is also on this list, but I thought I'd forward this 
from the ACBRA list so that any members of the American Council of the Blind 
Radio Amateurs affiliate, or those interested in joining would have this 
information. Harvey ----- Original Message ----- From: "R R Rogers"

Feb 20

ACBRA members,

Mike Duke and I have to get the ACBRA roster into the ACB national office 
soon if we don't want to lose our 2 votes on the convention floor.  We have 
a $10 annual dues.  I'll attach the membership promotion below to give the 
full information.

Won't you like to get your dues in now so we can really make a good showing 
at the convention?  Read the following and let me know.

*** CALLING ALL RADIO AMATEURS AND FRIENDS



The American Council of the Blind Radio Amateurs (ACBRA) is again having its 
membership drive.  If you have not paid dues since May 1 of 2006, it is time 
to renew.  If you have not yet joined the American Council of the Blind 
Radio Amateurs, we cordially invite you to join our great organization now. 
As a member of ACBRA, you are also registered with the national organization 
of the American Council of the Blind (ACB).  Our dues are a modest $10 for a 
membership year of July 1 through June 30.  We have an active email list on 
which our members exchange questions and ideas about amateur radio as well 
as tips on adaptations of equipment for use by visually impaired people.



Each year, in conjunction with the ACB national convention, we hold our 
annual meeting which includes a program covering topics of particular 
interest to visually impaired amateur radio operators or those who are 
interested in this wonderful hobby.  During the convention time, we have 
informal get-togethers for breakfast and/or dinner.  We also communicate 
among ourselves on two-meters on 147.48 MHz.  During all of this, you can 
imagine we don't exactly abstain from swapping tails about our favorite 
passion of ham radio and the field of communications and electronics.



We do invite you to join ACBRA by contacting me at your earliest 
convenience.  We would also urge you to get your membership in before March 
1 so we can get you on our roster in time for your membership to make a 
difference in our delegate count at the ACB national convention.  Feel free 
to contact me at any time with your questions and comments, and with your 
dues.  My contact information appears below.



When signing up with me, do include the following:

1.  Full legal name  .  Include nick name if you like.

2.  Call sign.  Unfortunately, I am missing that with many of you and do 
need it.

3.  Street address, box number, or whatever.

4.  City, state, zip.

5.  Phone number.



Please note that your information will not be circulated elsewhere.
