Membership isn't necessary for receiving our assistance but we strongly encourage you to be a part of this organization. When a person becomes a member, they also become a member of our Ohio affiliate and the National affiliate. At convention, your membership permits you to vote on issues that are being addressed and the election of officers. Of course, you are offered the opportunity to decide how this organization is run because we hold elections of officers and make decisions at our monthly meetings.
To join, each year dues are collected which is $15.00. $5.00 remains here in this chapter while $10.00 is sent to ACB Ohio in Columbus. ACB Ohio sends $5.00 to ACB National in Wash. DC. Thus, you become a member of ALL three affiliates.
You are always welcome to join us at our meetings and see what we are all about. We are just a group of visually impaired and blind individuals who wish to make a difference in the lives of other visually impaired people in the Tuscarawas Valley area.
