 I know; maybe I can get into Great Gathering In via Skype.  I
 don't know if the NABS Web site people are recording the 
seminar,
 but I hope they are.  BTW, you're going, right?

  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.

    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.

    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.

     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.
