I have some questions for you guys. 1. Are there any restaurants and food
places nearby the embassy suites in Milpitas where I can get a sandwich for
five dollars? Are there any restaurants nearby where I can get dinner for
$10-$12? I ask these questions, because, this year, all that is holding you
back from attending the upcoming NFBC convention is money. If I had an
extra seventy five dollars to a hundred dollars I would go

characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people because low expectations create obstacles

> It?s that time of the month again, time to have fun playing a game where
you answer thought-provoking questions that Bonnie found on Bookshare.
Participants can also bring a few questions to throw out to the group. These
are feeling or opinion questions with no wrong answers, and we play in a
safe and nonjudgmental environment. We also play a modified version of the
old game To Tell the Truth. In this version, each person presents 3
statements about themselves, 2 true and 1 false or partly false. Then
everyone else in the group takes a turn at guessing the false one. That?s
always lots of fun, so, even if you don?t have questions, bring those 3
statements about yourself.
> If you?d like to join us, we?re playing again this wednesday at 9pm
eastern time and 6pm pacific time. Just call 7128328330 and enter 6201340
when asked for an access code. You can come with or without questions, but
come on and join the fun. You never know what you?ll learn about your fellow
listers.
