Tobert, hi. I can't find a date for the event listed below. Has it already happened? Is it coming up? I want to attend if it is still available. Thanks. Will get to you about Alabama meeting content soon. Talked with Ruth Sager today, and she is trying to get a student who has had training at Rocky Bottom to speak with us. Will let you know.

The following notice looks to be very informative! The event notice was sent to us by one of our recent conference call guest’s; she spoke to us and gave an update on AFB (American Foundation for the Blind), and a website she has created for blind travelers. (the link to her presentation is on the conference call page of our division’s website http://seniors.nfb.org
