[Ct-nfb] Nominations Sought for CRIS Radio Educator of the Year Award

[ntwales]

Justin,
Though Ellen is retired from the school district, she is by no means 
retired from work with the blind and particularly our work in the 
Federation.  Most notably, of course, serving as the certified teacher 
for our BELL program...  And she has worked extensively with Cate on it, 
including seriously exploring opportunities to have the program in the 
Bridgeport area.
Your other suggestions are excellent, too.
Nathanael
