Hello all,

Please forward to whomever you think is interested.

One highlight of the  summer for blind people around the country are
the National Federation of the Blind (NFB) and American Council of the
Blind (ACB) conventions  in July. Both conventions are easily
affordable this year because they are virtual. In preparing for these
conventions, the California Association of Blind Students (CABS) is
excited to hold our June membership call with panelists from both the
NFB and ACB. We intend to provide information on both organizations,
how you can get  involved, and what to expect at both conventions. We
ask that all questions be submitted in advance via this Google form:

Here’s the Zoom info:

Date: Saturday, June 26, 2021
Time: 4:00 PM Pacific
Zoom link: tinyURL.com/CXBZoomRoom

Lastly, we would like to acknowledge that the relationship between NFB
and ACB is often viewed as adversarial. This call is not intended to
further this perception, nor to encourage people to choose between
organizations. Panelists will be asked not to make divisive remarks,
or to say anything that could be perceived as attacking either
organization and/or their members.

See you there, and we hope your summers are off to a restful start.

Warmest Regards,
Cricket X. Bidleman (on behalf of the CABS board)
