[NFBMI-Talk] The Crab Report: MiABS Update

[Robert Earl Parsons]

Hey There Friends

National Meet the Blind Month is in full swing and the Michigan Association of Blind Students can't be more excited at how much our crabs are being supported. As a reminder, the student division's "Larry Posont Award" scholarship is being awarded for the first time ever at our 2020 virtual state convention. This award was established thanks to the hard work and dedication of the division over the past year and the amazing effect that our former affiliate president had on the students of the Michigan affiliate. With all new years, though, comes new responsibilities, so the crab climb is a fundraising effort to support a fellow student next year at convention. Here's an update:
