[nabs-l] NFB Summer Internship Program

[Derek Manners]

I wasn't a summer intern but did intern 3 weeks this January. Basically everything stated is true so far. I'd mention that during events, they serve food to everyone, including interns. The center is located in a great spot within walking distance of a grocery store, dry cleaner, and several good restaurants. If you have further questions, feel free to ask. 

Best wishes
Derek Manners
