The 2009 Convention was a sucess ! Every thing was decorated and looked so good Thanks to chyevonne & sarah. All the Staff was friendly and welcomed everyone and made everybody feel at home ! Awards were given to many deserving people . the classes offered at the convention for the sighted people to see what a day in the non sighted persons life is like was very interesting and helpful ! the food was great and the dance went off well. I for one was Amazed at how gracefull chyvonne seemed to float across the dance floor . She was just Beautiful !! When Lyndol Williamson got Teacher of the year i thought id cry with joy but when i saw him dance with Betty Adams (van driver & sisterin law ) i didnt know rather to laugh or cry . The speakers at this convention were awesome and well chosen . I think it is safe to say I made alot of new friends . Ms. Joyce ( ex-school teacher ) really touched my life ! she is a awesome and interesting lady whom i'd like to keep in touch with . Ms. Emma ..... well she 's some thing else and i hope to see her again next year ! lol.... Glen & Donna (from Bossier City, La. ) certainly kept me laughing the whole trip in the van ! lol . I could go on and on about the wonderful people i met at the 2009 convention but to sum it all up i guess i'd like to see more sighted people attend so they can realize just how terrific this school is and how amazing the students are. How fantastic the teachers and staff treat every one and help each other ! celebrating the 15th year anniversary of affliated blind school was probably one of the high lights of the year 2009 that i will remember fondly !! way to go A. B. L. !!!! Ms. Emma VanCoevering of Bastrop, La.
