Our May meeting was well attended. There was a bit of controversy about the presentation, or lack there of, of the minutes. The members of the board eagerly threw each other under the bus when it comes to Tripple Pie July. We are still selling the Whozit keychain bottle openers. Heather is also getting a group together to take a charter bus to the 2014national convention in Orlando. If you are interested she needs $20 per month, or $200 for your round trip ticket.

Editor's note: Faith is our newest addition to the chapter board. She wrote this article in response to a discussion on the chapter's mailing list about whether or not we should accept the word disability. Faith does a wonderful job of explaining what she and many other federationists believe without resorting to word games, philosophical arguments, or legalese.

Form a chain, and follow us into the dark. The door opens, and you, along with your table mates, are ushered into the dark building. The door closes, and the light vanishes. You’re left without any light at all, only one mysteriously capable personage at hand to guide you, all unsure, to your appointed table.
