[nabs-l] student events

[Albert Yoo]

Sarah, good ideas how did you all come up with the idea for the students and employment? Can you explain? Would you have to contact different places of employment?> From: wolvessarah at hotmail.com> To: nabs-l at nfbnet.org> Date: Thu, 8 Jan 2009 22:27:22 -0600> Subject: Re: [nabs-l] student events> > > Hi Rachel,> WABS (Wisconsin Association of Blind Students) has a event almost every or every other month. We do a lot of things such as: shopping trips, sledding, skiing, parades, rock climbing, goalball, camping, student seminars, a big variety of fund raising, team building, we've also done mini travel races, and taken some public transit trips like riding a train and a ferry (not normally available in Wisconsin). I know i am missing a lot but the key we have found to be the most successful is having a fun event with a student/employment focus. We also do a lot of employment and life activities to help those who aren't in school but want to participate. For example, We've had state conventions where we have added a WABS event like goalball on Sunday afternoons or such as a camping event where we have done talent shows, and 3 employment/students session (canes vs dogs, job interview skills, and advocating), and tried to attend a water/theme park (that's when WI had the flood so that didn't work out). Those are just some ideas we have done if they're helpful.> Good luck,> Sarah Baebler> WABS Vice President> WAGDU Vice President> > > From: Rachel at BeckerConsultants.com> > To: nabs-l at nfbnet.org> > Date: Fri, 2 Jan 2009 14:14:03 -0500> > Subject: [nabs-l] student events> > > > Hi everyone.
