[Vabs] So how did it go?

[Corbb O'Connor]

Hello Virginia students,

Last Sunday evening, I held the conference call as planned. Larry  
Povinelli, our former state treasurer, and Jessica Kostiw were in  
attendance. Read: no students joined us! I'm working with Jason Ewell  
in the Affiliate Action Department at the National Center to get some  
ideas on increasing our membership, and I'll be attending an event in  
Baltimore at the end of the month about membership development. I'll  
report back to you after I attend that.

As for now, Jessica, Larry, and I are working to find more students to  
join us. We're focusing on Virginia, but we're open to students from  
the District of Columbia and Maryland as well.

If you know of other blind students, please have them contact me and  
have them join this and the national listservs. We'll hold a  
conference call again in a few weeks, and I hope that attendance will  
be greater on that call -- I understand that the holidays may have  
kept some of you from joining us.

On that note -- what are some good days of the week for you to have a  
conference call this semester?

Take care,
Corbb O'Connor
President, Virginia Association of Blind Students
