Another big thank you to all of those who bid on and purchased items at our Silent Auction Banquet. Because of your generosity and support, our conference was able to raise almost $5000 for the International Council for Education of People with Visual Impairment (ICEVI). ICEVI is a global association of individuals and organizations that promotes equal access to appropriate education for all children and youth with visual impairment so that they may achieve their full potential. Attendees of the conference were priveleged to hear Larry Campbell, President of ICEVI, speak more on this organization. For more information, visit: ICEVI
