Take your connection to the next level! Participate in smaller gatherings of three to five people in friendship circles and will do them as many times as we can in one hour.

2 pm: Cajun Debate

This call is to debate various topics, such as, canes versus guide-dogs, bus transport versus car transport, and things like that.

2 pm: Review of Resolutions and Their Writing

Every year the Florida Council of the Blind presents resolutions at its convention. Every year the American Council of the Blind does the same. Over the past few years, however, the way that resolutions are handled has changed for both groups. This call will explore how resolutions happen and how you can be involved if you wish. It will do more than that, though. It will also look at what a resolution looks like and we will write one together while we're on the call! Paul Edwards Will Be Presenting.
