[Nfb-greeley] New Perspective's Expo Date

[melissa R green]

Hi cody and all.
the summer orientation and mobility students only have classes in the 
summer, and teachers of blind students also aren't working in the summer.
additionally, its easier to get the ballrooms during the summer.
Only drawback I can see with the 31st is that I may have class that day and 
will be doing finals.
but we can work that out.
this is just my opinion and I say we keep it reserved and discuss it at the 
next meeting.

Sincerely,
Melissa and Pj
Happiness always looks small while you hold it in your hands, but let it go, 
and you learn at once how big and precious it is.

I am not opposed to weighting until fall  however, I really feel our expo 
would be very beneficial to the orientation and mobility students as I gave 
a presentation to there.class last summer and it was made evident to me that 
they have had very little interaction with or belief in the abilities of 
blind people   Also other TVIs in the area may be able to attend the event 
as they won't be teaching   Another reason I am hesitant about weighting 
until fall is that prior seminars that CABS has held in greeley haven't 
exactly had the success as far as attendance that we would like.
Regardless of when we do the expo though, I feel it should be a priority of 
our chapter to reach out to the orientation and mobility students this 
summer.
Thanks,
Cody
