Our Annual Business Meeting had to be rescheduled due to Hurricane Ian, which meant converting our workshop to virtual and losing the workshop post meeting. Luckily we didn't have to reschedule the ABM again with Hurricane Nicole passing through! We are appreciative to Valencia College (Debbie Drobney!) for hosting us, as well as our two Sponsors, ASL Services and International Language Services!
