Dear VADB Members and Friends,
Â
It’s time for the 2019 VADB Annual Meeting!Â
Â
Date: October 5, 2019
Time: 10am – 3pm
Place: DBVI Richmond, Library and Resource Center (395 Azalea Ave., Richmond VA 23227)
Â
We are excited that we will be celebrating VADBs 20th Anniversary at this meeting!  Can you believe its been 20 years since VADB first met in the gymnasium at DBVI-Richmond?  We’ve come a long way since then, and many of you have been there since the beginning!  We are grateful for your support, whether you are a long-time member or only recently joined us!
Â
Before the celebration begins, we will start with a Business Meeting in the morning.  We will talk about the White Cane Awareness Day that takes place every year on October 15 and we will have our own mini awareness activity.  We also will tell you about a new fund that VADB has started to help deafblind folks attend training, conferences and deafblind camps.  We will tell you how to apply for funding and who is eligible to apply.Â
Â
This year is an election year.  All VADB Officers and Representatives are up for election.  Here are the rules to be elected for office:
President and VP: deafblind member of VADB for at least 1 year
