Editor’s Corner

A Special Note From Your Editors To All BC Readers

You are receiving this second copy of the Summer Blind Californian because we, your editors, made an accidental but serious omission in the first release. We neglected to include Judy Wilkinson’s “President’s Address at the 2020 CCB Convention.” We apologize to Judy, and to all of you.

Fall is here with lots of changes together with sadness and hope.

We’ve been saying farewell to Bonnie Rennie, who passed away on Thursday, July 9. You’ll find Susan Glass’ compilation of tributes to Bonnie in this issue plus a poem published in the Summer, 2017 BC showing Bonnie at play.

And we have a new CCB president, Gabe Griffith. And man, I had to make all kinds of changes around the BC to reflect this important change, including Gabe’s very first President’s Message.

And speaking of presidents, be sure that you read Judy Wilkinson’s President’s Address at the 2020 CCB Convention. Judy reviews for us, the challenging waters that CCB has navigated for the last few years, as well as our successes, the hard work done by our membership, and our future course of action.

Also we have new officers and directors — check out the CCB convention report plus the Officers and Directors section for updated contact information.

Jeff Thom sent an upbeat Governmental Affairs Report, the CAAVLRY is rising, you’ll enjoy the report of the very first CCB virtual convention, a pace setter in the blindness community.

We have two articles concerning the 30th anniversary of the ADA, what to do when feeling overwhelmed, and how Epsom’s salts is good to have around.

Have fun!
