The Annual General Meeting of the Manitoba Chapter of the Canadian Deafblind and Rubella Association

Few organizations have their Annual General Meeting at 7:45 a.m. on a Saturday morning - but the Manitoba Chapter of the Canadian DeafBlind and Rubella Association (CDBRA) did this weekend - and there was a good turnout.

I was there to support the CDBRA and its President Marilyn Robinson and Executive Director Gitta Schwartz and all the others who were there. They are having a difficult time with budgetary cutbacks under the NDP - but they are determined and persistent. Those who are deaf and blind need full time assistance - and the CDBRA works very hard to provide this. My personal best wishes and thanks to all those who work so hard as staff or volunteers with the organization to work for a better life for those who are deaf and blind.
