Oh, and Josh, I unfortunately am not going to the NABS meeting or
Great Gathering In either; stupid school, LOL! I don't know if
Gary can still Skype us into Great Gathering In, but if he or
someone else can't, I guess we'll have to read the report in the
Braille Monitor.

Ah, i see. Yes, true. Anybody see the Ravens game? Sorry for
hijacking
a thread, but curiosity killed the cat lol. Not sure if you're
from
here in md Melissa, but let's just say the ending was... idk,
bad.

No, you are right. The invitation always stands for you to
attend
some of our events. I don''t have to do any community service,
but I
do because it makes my resume look a lot better.

Unless I missinterpreted the meaning of that, which I might
have.

Ah yes, community service. my service learning hours (as
that's
what
my school calls them) are done with, but it'd be nice to get
out
and
about :)

Alright. And also, you can find other opportunities to meet
students
from all over Maryland by staying updated on some of the events
MDABS
will be running, sponsoring, and supporting. We are going to
do
several community service events this year, so this may be
helpful for
you.

And, even if I don't, there is always Chris's idea that I could
use. i
shall have to see how things shape up in the coming days,
schoolwise.

Good points, Melissa! Shall take them into consideration, :)

Hey Josh! if you are interested in coming, you could always
just
come
for the weekend. I know missing school isn't most students'
intent,
but just consider the positives if you did. It's a special
chance
to
meet hundreds of students from across the country who could say
the
words that could help you in any of your struggles as a blind
student
or give you ideas for fun pass-times. BISM would appreciate
your
presence even if it ends up being for a day or two.

Well, even if we can't do chats, I can certainly record the
NABS
meeting and the Great Gathering-In Meeting. BTW, I have a lot
of
recordings from state convention if you want them; they're in
WAV
format right now though.

Ah, excellent dude! Doesn't look as if there will be a lot of
time for
all that, but yeah.
Best,

Hey Josh,
I know; I don't know if I'm going yet either. If I am, I
probably won't have my laptop, but will definitely have my
Apex,
and if they have wifi, I can chat with you and tell you what's
going on. I can also record it for you if you want.
