All of my health stuff, and running the HPS Network etc. just sort of get in the way, both time wise and financially. However, if there's anything I could do remotely to help, I'd be interested. I'm so excited about the idea of promoting blind artists. I have a background in media - sure would make a great news story! Grin! </FONT><BR><BR>

<DIV>I would be happy to contribute drawing boards, paper and pens as one part of the art activities. Last year it seemed to work well to have the room open for people to drop in as they could. Maybe Amelia Dickerson would be willing to help with that? Amelia, are you on line now? Ann</DIV>

<DIV>A tactile exhibit would be awesome. I'm going to be in Dallis, and would help put something together. We should have some sort of workshop for children or something as well, maybe? What do you think. </DIV>
