Most of us do that only at convention time. I bring this up because the expenses for BELL are monumental. We spend several thousand dollars getting children and adults to BELL. Much of that money comes from the NFB of Maryland. In addition, we also pay the teacher, although her expenses are actually much less than transportation costs.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>BELL is a fantastic opportunity to meet young blind people and their parents, and it is worth every penny we put into it.
