[nfbmi-talk] bell program

Sat Dec 3 19:54:28 UTC 2011

Pauline, this is really exciting.  I am still hoping to get a program here in MI.  
We must apply by December 15...and that is our biggest obstacle.  

Warm Regards,
Christine

I would love to see this program here in Michigan and if we have a session here in the Detroit area, I would definitely get involved.
