[Cabs] Cabs Digest, Vol 29, Issue 1

Mon Jun 1 17:53:10 UTC 2009

Dang, again I forget to make the conference call. I actually was on the conference call last week until Maurice, who was also on, let me know there wasn't one last week. I just switched from digest mode to recieving all posts individually so I know about any last minute changes. 

Please, feel free to contact me if I can be of any help at all for the June Seminar or anything else. Melissa, if you would like, I can assist with any CSDB correspondence since Im am right around the corner from the school. I am a member of CABS and want to help CABS do stuff where I can, so please feel free to let me know what I can do.
Unfortunately, I won't be going to national since I did not recieve assistance this time around but I will be going to state later this year.

Also, on a personal note, I am trying to find books in grade 1 and 2 braille for me to borrow. I have been learning to read braille and reallly would like to work on my reading speed and skills. If you have any books that I could borrow, please let me know. It would be much appreciated.

Hope everyone is enjoying their summer break.
