Thank you for your thoughtful surmount. This is a list serve focusing on issues unique to the blind of Colorado.

They have a list where I am sure you are welcome to post faith related things. Let’s please keep this list relevant to blindness in Colorado. Otherwise we are doing a disservice to those who use this list to stay up to date on important affiliate updates and information.
