[nabs-l] DSB meeting, a waste of time!

Sat Dec 24 00:05:23 UTC 2011

Lions World Services for the Blind, www.lwsb.org.
They're sponsored by the Lions Club, (hence their name.)
Also, from what I gather, because of my time there, is that they're
sponsored by the ACB, because the California Council of the Blind sent
one of their members, to be a trainee at the center.
Blessings, Joshua
