[nabs-l] student events

[Rachel Becker]

Wow! That's great. You guys do a lot of stuff and it sounds like you have a
lot of fun. What kinds of fundraisers do you do? Where do you play goalball?
It is alot of fun but can be hard to organize.
Thanks.
Rachel

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 tha!
 t didn't work out).  Those are just some ideas we have done if they're
helpful.
Good luck,
Sarah Baebler
WABS Vice President
