[Nfbwv-talk] Mentoring

Thu Feb 23 15:14:36 UTC 2012

Hi Keri,  where in New York will you be moving and what school will you
be attending?  I wish you the best of luck.  We do have an NFB affiliate
in New York as well.  Just let me know if you want their contact
information.

Charlene,

Unfortunately I can't attend for two reasons. I have no transportation
to 
get there, and the cost is unafordable for me currently as well. I'm
saving 
to move to New York where I'll be living and attending school. I wish
you 
luck with it though.
thank you,
keri

Find that guy that will pick up every piece of your shattered heart &
put it 
back together; Replacing it with a piece of his.
