[nabs-l] GPS Solutions

[Joshua Lester]

Thanks, Arielle.
#1. I don't get the Braille Monitor, so I can't listen to it, unliss I
subscribe to get it, which I will do, at convention.
I'm getting the Braille version, this time.
Also, #2. I went to the site, and read the schedule, but it didn't
give the information I was looking for, like the times for each
meeting, unless I was looking in the wrong place.
Blessings, Joshua
