Contact Dave Robinson or your local chapter president if you're interested. The initial meeting will be at 9:30 at the State Plates Cafeteria with a wrapup some time around 3. Teamm will be formed to visit with our representatives.

Back from DC
Our Michigan gang has arrived back from the bustling halls of Congress in Washington, DC. This year, our three major issues concerned creating a minimum sound standard for quiet cars, restoring funding for the National Library Service's transition to digital audio books, and raising the earnings limit for Social Security Disability recipients.
Our work has only begun, and we are preparing to actively follow up with our representatives and legislative assistants. If you wish to help in this process, please contact a member of the Washington Seminar delegation.
