[NFB-Maryland] Fwd: [MDPOBC] Get on BASE Parent and Student Workshop

[Ronza Othman]

Hi Cory,
There are two different groups - one is the Maryland Parents of Blind children, where the kids are blind and the parents may or may not be.  The other is the Maryland Blind Parents Committee, which is where the parent is blind and the kids may or may not be.  Which are you interested in?

Hello, My name is Corey Thompson, I am very interested in participating within the parents division. I am a blind parent and I am sure that I will be able to take some valuable techniques from that workshop. Where would I register for the parents workshop? When is this seminar taking place?

Thank you for your time in this matter and I look forward to hearing more about the workshop.
