Hi Everyone!

Have you heard about the Arizona Association of Blind Students (AABS)?  It's an exciting organization made up of blind/VI college and high school students from across the state!  We provide resources, support, and fun activities for all interested individuals.  A flier with more information, titled All About AABS, is attached to this message. 

AABS is a division of the National Federation of the Blind of Arizona (NFBA).  Read on to learn more about our exciting programs!

Applicants must be attending a college or university in the fall of 2010.  All students living in Arizona may apply.  Please call the NFBA at 888-899-6322 if you have questions.
