[Cacommunity-service] Blind Advisory Committee Recruitment

[Nancy Piazza]

Hi,
Thank you for the email.  This sounds very interesting and would be
something I would enjoy.  But unfortunately I am no longer a DOR
consumer.  Also I live in Redding.  You did not mention how many hours
a week one would have to put in, nor the location of the job.  Due to
the fact that I live alone on a budget, since I am legally blind, I do
not drive.  Meaning that relocation would be difficult.
Thank you for your time, Nancy Piazza
