[nabs-l] Trouble forming an Association of Blind students for my state

[Joshua Lester]

I'll listen, online, to www.nabslinkaudio.org.
What time will the call take place?
I can't attend state convention, because I don't have transportation.
I'll continue working with our state president.
Blessings, Joshua
