[This is from the Blink Talk Conference]

Well the NFB operates similar to an unamed Canadian Organization which
is supposed ato act in the interests of the blind community.
This organization, in an attempt to save money in this recession,
decides to cut back staff.  Logical.  So they sack their fund raiser.
Not logical.  The admin types are always the last to go.  I think what
irked me the most is that there were only 6 blind employees there out of
a staff of about 30 and he was one of them.  Go figure.
I'm sure everyone has complaints about their organizations, but as it
was put to me in a board meeting:
"You're in your twenties, 85 per cent of the blind community are
seniors."
This from the head honcho.
Cheers,
Jeff
