It has been finalized and now is ready for families to start applying. As a national program within the National Federation of the Blind, I am asking each and every one of you to distribute the application link to those that would be able to either participate as a student or volunteer throughout the week. Now that the program is five months away, I will be reaching out to affiliate members who are interested in helping out. If you have not contacted me personally, then please do so I can add you to the list of volunteers/supporters. I am so excited for this program, and hope you are too!</div><div>Again, the dates are from August 10-14 and the program will be held in Bridgeport, CT. </div><div>Please do not hesitate to reach out to me with any questions, suggestions, or concerns.
