Wonder who this guy is! Whoever he is, ramming it down someone's
throat isn't the way to turn them on to an organization IMO; it's
the way to turn them off!

Merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous new year!

I was just upset that he ogressively tried to force ACB down my
throat.
At one time, I was in agreement with the accessible currency that
they
wanted, but when I researched it, I wanted nothing to do with it.
The guy just kept ramming it down our throats, and I was glad to
have
left after my 4 weeks were up.

That is right Anmol. Members of both groups go there. While
their rules and
philosophy may not be NFB's they do have job training programs
so many blind
people, regardless of organization affiliation,, attend it.
NFB members
take the good with the bad I suppose.
Joshua, just because a few ACB people go there, it does not mean
ACB
endorses it. In fact ACB endorses no center for the blind.
It’s a private center.

Just to clear some things.
Lions World Services for the Blind is now World Services for the
Blind to
better reflect its' mission and to allow other organizations
including the
Lions Club.
Also the World Services for the Blind is not sponsored by the
ACB or the
NFB. Just because a member of the California Council of the
Blind happen to
attend there, does not mean that ACB sponsores it or supports
it. There have
many NFB members who attend World Services for the Blind and
local chapter
of the NFB has started having its' meetings there.

I seldom think about my limitations, and they never make me sad.
Perhaps
there is just a touch of yearning at times; but it is vague,
like a breeze
among flowers.

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.

They're part of the state.
I will say this, since you brought up Vocational
Rehab.
When I still had them, they were the ones that forced
me to
attend LWSB.
I wonder what the DSB would think about funding me, if
I wanted
to go to LCB.

I didn't have issues with VR, because I didn't
use them much.
I only used the Division of Services for the
Blind, from the
Department of Social Services.
The VR Counselor retired, and now we don't have
VR in my state.
The Department of Services for the Blind, (of
the DSS,) is very
slow
in getting the adequate help that I need.
They won't even supply the things I need in
class.
These are the people I've been complaining about
on this list,
for months!

Joshua,
I'm confused. You met at your college or
were supposed to. But
is this
counselor your disability counselor from school
or the state
agency?
If you mean the vr agency, I sympathize with you
because I don't
get much
from my counselor either. All of them are
horrible about
communication.

All of the DSB people have been this way.
I'm tired of dealing with them!

Hi, it's Joshua Lester.
I'm tired of these slow DSB people!
I went to the college, to meet Ms Audrey, (my
counselor,) but
she
didn't show up!
She called us, at the last minute, and told us
that she went to
the
campus, 30 miles away.
She Googled our college, and only saw that one,
and said she
never
thought that they'd have a campus so close to
it.
The woman also misunderstood what we said, but
instead of
calling
our
cell phone, she called our home phone.
She thought we said to meet us at the
"Community," center.
She was supposed to meet us at the student
center.
She should have called our cell, so we could
clear it up.
Anyway, we're about to have her E-mail the staff
members, that
she
needed to meet with.
On another note, I have my Spring schedule.
I have a monday, and wednesday class, from
6:30/9:20, wich will
keep
me out of church.
This has been a bad day!
Blessings, Joshua
