They are interested in having him conduct a keynote address at their family conference next April on Optic Nerve Hypoplasia. The target audience will be approximately 30 families from around the state with children with ONH. The agency also wants Chris to conduct his workshop at one of their break-out sessions the next morning. Chris said This will be the first time he has had the opportunity to conduct one of his workshops in two years and only the third time he has done it in-person. Chris ask for your prayers that the funding for him to speak at this conference goes through and this opportunity moves forward.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Let’s pray for and encourage Chris.
