Well, Tandy, I can't say about the NFB, but people do attend the
ACB convention that are not members as you well know since you are
not a member and attended.  I have never heard anyone say that you
need to be a member to attend.  You are suppose to have to register
to get a nametag to go into the eshibits, but have I have never
seen it inforced.  This is only done for security reasons, because
some exhibitors have been stolen from.
