I am an involved member with Pennsylvania Council of the Blind, American Council of the blind. Not able to afford to go to convention, but as much as possible, I did listen on ACB radio while the event was occurring, even planned to skip church on Sunday, and I teach Sunday school. Got a substitute. but I did miss Tuesday, Wednesday, and part of Thursday. I am listening to it now because an announcement that it was available was in my email. I did subscribe and now I know next year when it is available, it will just land in my podcast feed. Very excited about this. Thank you so much.
