News notes out on Hawaiian time.
This edition of News Notes is really not late if you look at it from Hawaiian time. ACB Executive Director Charlie Crawford is writing this edition from a hotel room in Honolulu after what has been a wonderful stay in this island paradise with the Hawaii Association of the blind convention. The convention was as splendid as the weather and our members in this island state could not have been more warm and welcoming. The convention celebrated legal victories in helping a blind child to get his educational rights honored and Hawaiian vendors to finally get their proper funding for retirement and medical benefits. Each day of the convention found our members sharing and enjoying each other in true ACB spirit and we have much to celebrate with our Hawaii affiliate.
