[Mabs] Mabs Digest, Vol 104, Issue 7

Tue Jun 25 15:01:38 UTC 2013

Good Morning All, 
I hope your summer is coming along very nicely. As we approach national convention in just a few short days ( excited) I wanted to ask you all if there is anything you would like me to say to other student divisions or messages you'd like me to relay to the nation student division floor? Or, if you all have friends going I can tell them hello for you. 

I would like to say congratulations to our board member Julie M on her tenbrook fellow scholarship opportunity. We are so proud of you Julie! 

Also, I will be sending out an email in the very near future with information as to our next conference call. I miss hearing your voices. :) 

If there is anything I or your wonderful MABS board can do to help you out in anyway, just reply and let us know. We are here for you! 
Have a wonderful week! 

Bethany Bennington
President Missouri Association of Blind Students
