[nabs-l] volunteer at BELL Rhode Island!

[Molly Faerber]

Dear students--we are looking for blind mentors for Rhode Island's very
first BELL program. Our program is located in Providence, which is easily
accessible by public transportation from Boston as well as many other
locations. If you live in the area or have somewhere to stay in RI, we
would love to have you! Check out our flyer below, and please feel free to
contact me with questions.

Thanks and take care,

Molly
