<p class=MsoNormal>Again this year, RSB and the SRC need to know your concerns
and comments regarding the services we provide for Missourians who are blind or
visually impaired. This information is needed to plan for services in the
future, as well as allowing us to better serve the people of Missouri today.
Please let us know what you think about the programs operated by RSB. There
will also be a short presentation on RSB Services for the Self-Employment
Entrepreneur. Our next meeting is scheduled to be held:<br>
