[Blindtlk] fw: [nfbmd] BANA meeting in Baltimore

[Chris Nusbaum]

Hi all,

This is just letting you know of the BANA Board meeting to be 
held at the NFB Jernigan Institute.  In light of recent threads 
on the NABS list in which many people expressed strong opinions 
about BANA's consideration of the abolition of Nemeth, I thought 
I'd let everyone know so they can let their voice be heard.  
Trudy, if you haven't gotten this already, can you forward this 
to the MDPOBC list? Thanks!

Chris

"The real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight.  The 
real problem is the misunderstanding and lack of education that 
exists.  If a blind person has the proper training and 
opportunity, blindness can be reduced to a mere physical 
nuisance." -- Kenneth Jernigan (President of the National 
Federation of the Blind, 1968-1986.)

impaired children in MD say "I can!"
