ACB Government Employees Are Cookin’

And we mean that, since at our annual meeting in Birmingham this summer, we voted to produce a cookbook. This is a fund-raising project; we’re asking members and non-members to send favorite recipes. Titles may be changed, but senders’ names will appear as contributors. Did you ever try Affirmative Action Oysters or “The Check’s in the Mail” Chili? The best recipe will win a $25 prize from the Cookbook Committee. Please send recipes to [email protected], or call Billie Jean Keith at (703) 528-4455. You don’t need to be a member to contribute recipes. However, we do invite people who work for their city, county, state, or the federal government, or who are retirees from these agencies, to join ACBGE. We guarantee a good program at our annual meetings, and just so we don’t lapse into bureaucracy, we have a lot of merriment at our annual mixer. If you think you are already a member, but did not hear from ACBGE in 2004, please contact Cathy Skivers at (510) 357-1986.

Another item on the burner is that we are starting an e-mail distribution list. If you want to sign up, please send your e-mail address to Richard Rueda at [email protected]. The purpose of ACBGE is to promote recruitment, placement and advancement of blind and visually impaired people within federal, state, county and municipal government
