NABT Offers Help to Attend Convention

The National Association of Blind Teachers will award $200 to enable a teacher or student studying to be a teacher to attend this year’s convention. Think of this as a couple of nights of free lodging or a wild spending spree in the exhibit hall. If you would like to be considered for the award, send your name, phone number, and the name of the institution where you teach or are studying, along with a brief explanation of the reasons why you think you deserve the award in the medium of your preference, by April 1 to John Buckley, 7700 Gleason Dr., Apt. 33N, Knoxville, TN 37919 or e-mail [email protected].
