[Blindtlk] Independence Market at the convention

[Steve Jacobson]

Julie,

Thanks for mentioning this, I should have thought of it.  Penny, you might want to subscribe to our "Blind-Kid" list or perhaps contact Carol Castellano at 
carol_castellano at verizon.net and ask her about availability of canes for kids and the cane walk.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson
