Hey Jackie, I heard that you put something on face book about Sunny. Would 
you please put something on this list about her condition as many who read 
this may care about her. Prayerfully, Thanks, Donna

I am sorry to hear about dave but I think that rather than lump a sum of 
complaints and muddying the picture it is important that we keep our 
complaints clear and susinctm let's focus on one issue at a time and right 
now Christines job is the next threat so let's hit that hard today

Hello All,

Christine Boone, Director of the Michigan Commission for the Blind Training 
Center in Kalamazoo, is due to be hastily dismissed from her position as 
director on Thursday 2/4/2010; that's the day after tomorrow. In her short 
time as director, Christine Boone has made tremendous positive change to the 
Michigan Commission for the Blind Training Center. She has encouraged 
greater independence of center students, introduced new programs and 
policies, and has sought greater feedback and input from center staff 
members. She was well on her way to making the center a place where students 
are empowered through learning confidence and the skills of blindness.

The situation surrounding her dismissal does not add up at all. There are 
many missing pieces and there appears to be a number of hidden agendas at 
work. I have posted the related news articles at the bottom of this email

I write to you today in hopes that you are in support of Christine Boone and 
the positive changes she has made at the Michigan Commission for the Blind 
Training Center. To show that support, I urge you to make a couple quick 
phone calls. And don't worry, they will really be quick because the people 
answering these numbers want to get off the phone with you as quick as they 
can! When you call these offices, you may want to simply state the situation 
as you understand it. You may want to include the following points:

  a.. Christine Boone, Director of the Michigan Commission for the Blind 
Training Center is due to be dismissed from her position on Thursday.
  b.. Mrs. Boone has made a significant impact at the training center and as 
a concerned citizen of Michigan , you feel it would be a mistake to let her 
go
  c.. Encourage the Governor/Director of DELEG to examine both sides of the 
situation and encourage them to allow Christine's voice to be heard.
  d.. Christine Boone can be reached on her cell phone at (269) 329-8500 or 
home at (269) 343-1959. She would welcome a call from the Governor, the 
Director of DELEG, or any of their staff so that she may discuss her side of 
the story.

I have pasted below the two numbers to call. One is the governor's office 
and the other is the main number for the Department of Energy Labor and 
Economic Growth. If only one or two people call, there is no chance of this 
making a difference. If everyone calls, there is at least a chance for 
Christine's side to be heard. Please distribute this email far and wide. We 
don't have much time so don't think about it, just do it!
