[nagdu] convention 2010 ???

[Sharonda Greenlaw]

Julie,
The ACB convention is definitely here in Phoenix. And for that reason and
those that you have so aptly cited, I will also be attending this
convention. Plus, it's right here in my state.


I think us working together is where we definitely need to go. We must stop
being a divisive people and learn how to come together. No, we don't agree
on many things or ways of accomplishing things. But the more we can work
together on, much more will be accomplished.

I don't know if the site that was asked for was given.
ACB's website is
www.acb.org
And our site is:
www.nfb.org
Have an awesome day--that's up to you!

Sharonda
