[Travelandtourism] upcoming changes to the division

[cheryl echevarria]

There really isn't much  else, unless we can get past people involved with this. I have posted everything that I could find in the Braille Monitor, maybe some people who were involved back then that are still on this list, that do not post, can possibly help us with this endeavor.
