[nabs-l] Virginia Association of Blind Students

[Ashley Bramlett]

Corbb,
You must be back in the US.  Are you going to George Washington still? 
Sorry to hear the board was not responsive.  I am in northern VA and will 
get back to you.

> Many thanks and Happy New Year.

> the budget!) I left you, though, in the very  capable hands of Jessica 
> Kostiw, and I'm glad to hear that she does  not disappoint!

> It's time for us to start moving again as a division. I have had a  great

> I would love to hear your ideas of what we can do this year. But more 
> importantly, I want your help making those ideas a reality. One of the 
> first things that I want to focus on is crafting a constitution for  our 
> division. This will involve a lot of discussion, some writing, and 
> thinking about our division's future.
>
> To facilitate this, I propose that we hold a conference call either  next 
> Sunday, Jan. 4 or Monday, Jan. 5 at 10pm ET. I have used a  service before 
> at Freeconference.com where you will need to dial a  phone number, enter 
> an access code, and join the conversation. That  phone number is a 
> long-distance number, but my hope is that by holding  this meeting in the 
> evening, we can exploit free long distance minutes  on cell phones!
>
> In order to give an accurate count of the participants to the 
> teleconference company, please reply to me with your availability  (either 
> Sunday or Monday) and your e-mail address.
>
> Best wishes for 2009, and I look forward to working together.
