From CCB President Guillermo Robles:
Hello CCB!
Due to time spent during the business meeting which took place on Sunday May 4th, a motion was made to stand in recess until May 22nd so that we may take care of remaining items needing to come before the full membership. We will be meeting on Thursday, May 22nd at 7:00 PM.
This session will be broadcast on ACB media 8. To listen, set your internet browser to acbmedia.org/8, or use the ACB link app for your smart phone, your victor reader stream, or your Echo device. Say “Alexa, open ACB Media” then say “Alexa, play ACB Media 8”. If you need assistance joining, please call (310) 558-4500.
For those participating via zoom, information will be provided shortly. We hope to see all of you there.
Best,
Guillermo Robles
President
California Council Of The Blind
