VISAbilities – Unforgettable ACB Moments, Part 2: We want to continue hearing your stories to be added to our future recording in celebration of ACB’s 60th anniversary year. We have now had 60 national conventions, dozens of legislative seminars, countless affiliate conventions and chapter meetings, and lots and lots of socials. Each one has had a major achievement or happening, something hysterically funny you will never forget, a very moving moment, a new friendship or other relationship. Come share your favorite moments or maybe it’s even an embarrassing incident. It’s all in good taste and camaraderie. If you can’t make the call but have something you would like to share, drop an email to [email protected].
