Thanks, Dan. I would like to echo Dan's sentiment. As you know, we have been  
given two unprecedented opportunities to bring reform. The interim study  
committee of the General Assembly brought about by the strong and fact-based  
advocacy of the National Federation of the Blind will begin it's deliberation on  
August 12. However, of equal importance are these public meetings being held by  
officials at the Colorado Division of Labor and Employment which will begin in  
Denver next Monday evening. I urge us all to discuss our thoughts and strategies  
for reform and bring them to the attention of CDLE and Division of Vocational  
Rehabilitation management. If you could RSVP, off of this list please, to Dan or  
myself it would be greatly appreciated. Please consider the flyer and, as they  
say, "let's do this".  

At Your Service,

Here's a message from the future home of DVR - the Department of Labor and  
Employment.  The first meeting is in the Denver ZMetro area, and others will be  
announced - they are already listed in the flyer below. 

So get ready to come and give your input - what should DVR look like in its new  
home?  What is working for you, what has not worked. 

The National Federation of the Blind needs to show itself and its collective  
strength starting next Monday.
