[VABS] Gift Card

[Robert Parsons]

All

This is a great opportunity for you to make your voice count in our state and nationwide. Please send any letters detailing your trouble with inaccessibility or any good reports of accessible learning materials to me at rob.parso3389 at gmail.com. I think that all of you should want to win a gift card for $25, so what will it hurt for you to take 145 minutes to write down a story of what happened with your accessibility journey? I look forward to reading your letters.

Best

Good Evening Fellow VABS Members,

I hope that this letter finds you all safe and sound.

As President Parsons' said in his previous email that we need to get at least 5 letters from you explaining your interactions with inaccessibility materials whether it is positive or negative.

I imagine some of you might be thinking that your story probably won't make a difference but that is not the case. We have made significant changes in the world of disability right and many of those changes started with letters from parents, teachers, advocates and especially STUDENTS just like you who told your stories and let your voices be heard. Each year, more and more students are facing the future unprepared because of inaccessible materials in schools. This must stop now!! The future is ours to shape and mold but we must do it together and I am asking for your help.

Besides being able to let your voice be hear and make lasting change, we are adding an incentive, we are raffling off a $25 gift card. Any student who sends us a letter will be placed in a drawing to win that gift card.
Only one letter per person.

We are asking that all of the letters are turned in by December 18, 2017 at 11:59pm.


Yours Sincerely,

Andre' E. Hill
