[Community-service] Not Going to National Convention?

[Catherine Michele Mitchell]

Correct, Ashley. And Denise, yay! I'm so glad to hear you plan to be involved in the service project. Be on the lookout for announcements via email and in the Braille monitor.

Anyone else on this list planning to participate in the service project that convention? Speak up -- don't be shy!
