Good afternoon everyone,

    There will be such an employment seminar during our national convention 
in Detroit. Plan to be there. Buna Dahal who is an employment specialist and 
motivation speaker will host the workshop. Learn more about Buna and her 
work by visiting:
http://www.dynamicbuna.com

    You can get further information about the employment seminar by reading 
the April 2009 Braille Monitor. See you in Detroit.

Jim,

That's an excellent idea.  I don't know what strategies could be
developed to obtain funds for this sort of activity.  However, with a
seventy percent unemployment rate in the blindness community, this is
definitely a set of topics which should be addressed.  Unlike
convention, which everyone can not attend, web seminars would be
accessible to a much wider range of our membership.
