[nabs-l] Summer Programs

Mon Jul 18 02:26:45 UTC 2011

Hi all
  To quickly add to the summer program thread, there are similar
summer programs to colorado's program. LCB and BLIND inc have programs
and BISM has a very fine program that they run now.  Nabs has had
people from the programs on past conference calls.  Maybe we'll do it
again at some point.
