Please read the following email from Lauren Mclarney and let me know if any of you can attend. Jim is having eye surgery May 3rd, so I can't make it. I should be able to make it May 4th.

Hi Lauren,
Beth Debus is the president of the Ohio Association of Blind Students,
the Ohio chapter of the NFB student division. I have copied her on
this message and you can reach her directly at
mbdebus at yahoo.com
She should be able to help you find Ohio students to testify at the
hearing. I would also suggest talking with Ohio's affiliate president,
if you haven't already done so.

Best of luck and please let me know if I can be of further assistance.
Arielle
