[Nfbofnc] Services for the Blind Public Hearings

[Gary H. Ray]

The Division of Services for the Blind (DSB) is required to hold Public
Hearings to try and gain our feedback.

I was involved in a Focus Group in Raleigh on March 28.  It was great.  I
got to tell DSB what I thought they needed to do with their State Plan.

I plan to attend the Public Hearing in my area to further share my thoughts.


We have fought hard for this agency, and I feel it is my duty to give them
feedback.  I would hope that other folks might feel the same way, especially
those in the Burlington and Asheville areas.
