[Rehab] NFB-CAPB Our Agenda

[Debbe Gabe]

	Aloha Jennifer,
I attended your committee meeting this morning (at 4:00 am Hawaii time). It was one of the best committee/division meetings I've attended?

I am wondering if you have the email address for the researcher from the University of Montreal? I'm not even sure I got the name of the school correct. She is the person who presented research info on adults who are learning braille. I would love to read the actual report of her study.

Thank you very much.
Debbie Gabe
President, Braille Division 
NFB of Hawaii

All,

The agenda is pasted below. As you will see, it is packed; not only that, but there were additional folks asking to be on the agenda. I have learned that there is a bit of cushion in the meeting space availability if the meeting needs to run over, but we won't go past 12:15 if that. Maybe next year's committee will need a longer time slot.

Anyway, thanks so, so much to everyone who helped come up with ideas and resources for this meeting. Talk with you tomorrow.
