The After After Party – The Celebration Continues!

**VISAbilities is thrilled to welcome Kim Charlson and Tony Stephens tonight for an “after after party” of the ACB Audio Description Awards Gala.  Let’s all celebrate this successful event and hear any back-stage stories.  They will have all the details from the awardees, numbers of attendees, and maybe even preliminary plans for future galas.  I’m sure they will want to hear your comments and experiences as well. So, join us.  **
