[Oabs] FW: [Nfbnet-members-list] Fwd: BISM Summer Job Positions

[Deborah Kendrick]

Oabsters,

I would love to see this summer program in Baltimore staffed by our own Ohio
students!  

BISM is a great agency and these sound like great summer jobs.  It is in
Baltimore, so you'd be not too far from NFB's national center.

If anyone is interested in applying, and wants someone to bounce ideas
around with about it, just give me a shout.

Peace,

Deborah
