Subject: [Cabs] National Association of Blind Students 2011 Business Meeting	Agenda!

Hello all,
Below is the agenda for the 2011 NABS business meeting! At this time
the agenda is full and we are unable to accommodate any more
presentations. However, if you have an announcement about a convention
event or a program that you would like students to know about, you can
give me a Brailled announcement that I will read aloud during the
meeting (much like Dr. Maurer handles announcements during the general
sessions). I will also keep all the Braille announcements up at the
head table so students can come up and look at them afterward if they
want the information repeated. If you would like to submit an
announcement, please get it to me in Braille and bring it to the NABS
meeting room between 6:15 and 9:15 p.m. You may also submit
announcements to me by email before noon Eastern time on Friday, July
1 (so I have time to go get them Brailled).
See you in Orlando!
Arielle Silverman
