This is part of our effort to increase our presence on social media and to spread the positive message of the Maryland Association of Blind Students and of the National Federation of the Blind. If you are on Twitter, please follow @MDMDABS (M D M D A B S, all capitalized) and spread the word to your followers in the hope that they too will follow us. We will tweet updates related to our division and the events we are putting together, as well as information which we think would be of interest or importance to blind students in the state of Maryland. Occasionally, news from our national office and relevant tweets from student divisions in nearby states will also be shared with our followers. So, please follow our student division and encourage your friends (in the Federation or otherwise) to do the same!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> Don’t forget that you can also join us on Facebook and subscribe to our email listserv to keep in touch with us and to stay up to date on all things MDABS.
