[Nfb-or] Blind Students Update

[T. Joseph Carter]

Some of us are very outdoorsy.  Others not so much (or not at all).  
I love the idea of having another meeting, and I like the idea of 
scheduling some other events to get blind students active together 
(our isolation has been the greatest problem thus far), but I wonder 
if we're not big enough for an event that several of us wouldn't be 
interested in.

Rock climbing sounds like fun.
