[Ncabs] Let the NC Association of Blind Students improve your employment skills

[Kathryn Webster]

Fellow NCABS Members and Leaders,
	I love this idea and look forward to the end results. I personally brailled all Cosi menus throughout the state of Connecticut before going off to college. Cosi is a chain restaurant with soups, salads, and sandwiches. Therefore, I am quite familiar with the procedures necessary in succeeding. Please let me know, Alan, if there is anything I can do help with this great idea!
Best,
Kathryn C. Webster

Yes, we are a social organization, but more importantly, we are improving skills of blind students all over the state to be successful in their lives.  To this end, NCABS will in the near future implement an idea to produce braille menus for restaurants  By participating in this idea, you will gain valuable skills in communication, money management, logistical planning, leadership, and much more.  These are all skills that future employers will want to see and skills that you can most certainly transfer to other areas.  So, this is still in the planning stages, but I hope that by October we are able to finalize a plan to move forward.  Remember, NCABS is here as both a professional and social organization so we must ensure we target both aspects.  Please let me know if you have questions.
