Hello all,

I know Darian is working with a group of people on community service
activities.  The link below was passed around our office today, and aside
from the fact that the community mentioned in the video is not far from
Disney World, down the street from where this year's national convention
will be held, I was just struck by the real state of things.  I sit on the
board of a transitional housing organization here in DC and think we've seen
it all...  Maybe some students will come together and do some type of
community project while at convention?  I know blind people have it tough.
The unemployment rate is atrocious, but we aren't the only ones.  As persons
with disabilities, we sometimes get more help and have access to more
resources than impoverished families.  Anyway, check it out if you have a
spare moment.
