[Txabs] Attention Students: Action Requested

[Gabe Cazares]

Howdy TABSters and Federation Family,

We need your help to move SB208 and HB3294. I'm certain all of you have seen
the messages Norma has been sending out regarding written comments to both
the Natural Resources and Economic Development, (Senate,) and Economic and
Small Business Development, (House) committees.

Since the improvement of vocational rehabilitation services would directly
impact the services blind consumers receive, I am requesting the full
engagement of the Texas Association of Blind Students for the final push.
Tomorrow evening, Thursday Apr. 23, 2015 at 7:00 PM TABS will be hosting an
informational call for all blind students. This call will focus on the
latest updates from our legislative efforts, and will also provide attendees
with action items they can take to support us in this move. I urge you to
attend, if you are a student, (k-12 or higher education,) and have a
vocational rehabilitation counselor, we need your engagement.

Conference call info:

Dial in: 605-475-4000

Code 468803

 

I look forward to full engagement, particularly from students, on tomorrow's
call. Members that are not students, please feel free to attend. Although
the focus of our meeting will be the student perspective to this move, you
may find some valuable information regarding written comments, since that is
a project the entire affiliate is participating in.

Best,

 

...Gabe
