[Oabs] Take advantage of my busyness

[Darian Smith]

Dear OABS,
  My bet is on you all to win the most improved  division award. As far as I have been able to tell you all have been one of the more active  divisions as it relates to growing your effort with ideas an leadership.
 seems as if you all have had people that were active in various aspects of your  affiliate. From Aleeha’s involvement with the affiliate fundraising effort at  national convention, to both her and kaiti’s  involvement in NABS committees, Emily and her involvement including the great honor of winning our national scholarship, Lilly  and her leadership in stem 2 U.
 This  division has done a great job as it has been spearheaded by both President Shelton and Vice-President Dudley.  There was a point where I had heard of serious concern of the future of the Ohio Association of Blind Students, but that seems to be so long ago due to the individual and collective efforts  of all of it’s members.
 You show by your actions that blind students in Ohio can live the lives they want. 
 I am super excited for the future and  proud of all of you today.
  respectfully,
  Darian
