[nabs-l] clothes shopping and organizing

[Lavonya Gardner]

Hi Gloria.
This is LaVonnya. I work for more abilities. This is a work program for the arts. I dance, and write. So, I dress bright, and sparcley. I would not have any other way. I love it. I get to paint, and my boss got me red head phones, with blue and yellow high heals. We do have to ware business suites for the writing days, but they should be brigt. They adapt things for the blind very well.
