It doesn’t say in your email what day the Deafblind chat is going to happen.  Can you please clarify what day it’s going to happen?

> I am also going to put here the final draft of the divisions agenda for July 5. Please be aware that we are likely to make a couple of minor changes. When we send it off to be printed and brailed. That reminds me if you know you're going to be wishing a braille agenda I need to know today or at the extreme late no later than noon Pacific time monday. I'd like to get the agenda off to where it's going to be bailed so that it can neither be chipped back to me, or have it move to where it can be carried to the convention hotel. Finally if anyone has any questions about any of this please feel free to write me directly please do not Post them to the list if you don't think they are related to something specific to me, other words if it's not something that is intended for everyone to read please write me privately. I look forward to Reading the accommodations request, and other questions related to all of this here's hoping that everyone has an outstanding rest of Friday and weekend.
