Wow! Congratulations to you both!
I have a Matthew, too. They are great, aren't they? :-)

Subject: [blindkid] Matthew Lipsey - Council for Exceptional Children

Hello Everyone-
I wanted to share an award that Matthew just won - Matthew applied for the Council for Exception Children-Yes I Can! Award (for advocacy) a few months ago, and we just received a phone call this week notifying us that he is a winner!
The organization received 300 applications and only awarded 27 children with this prestigious honor.
Matthew won a trip to Seattle beginning on Apr. 3rd (for the entire family).  He will receive a trophy (created by a blind sculptor), award and letter from the President of the US, in front of approx. 400 conference attendees.  He will also attend a special field trip while in Seattle.
Much thanks to all of you who inspired, motivated and taught Matthew over the past 5 years.  You've all been so instrumental in helping Matthew generate such a positive attitude towards blindness, and helping him to realize that nothing will stop him from accomplishing his dreams.
>From his proud Mom,
Mindy
