[Ohio-talk] An announcement and a question

[barbara.pierce9366 at gmail.com]

I don’t know about the PDF forms except that you can print them out and fill them out and then scan the finished form back to the entity that wants it. That is usually what they expect us to do, and it is a pain. 

About the AZ affiliate. Don Porterfield is the president, but I don’t have contact info for him. Bob Kresmer is the past president. He would still be a good contact. His home number is 520-733-5894, and his email is krezguy at cox.net.I <mailto:krezguy at cox.net.I> think he could and would put these  parents in touch with the right people.

Good luck,
Barbara

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.
