<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I know many of you are getting ready to head off to AHEAD, and I hope to see all of you at our little get together Dann Berkowitz is coordinating. I have recently been contacted by two different people about an AT effort in the former Soviet Union. You can find more information about it at:</FONT> <A HREF="http://sussman.org/mnafund/"><U><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Times New Roman">http://sussman.org/mnafund/</FONT></U></A></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I would very much like to get the ATHEN membership involved in this and any other comparable effort to increase the access to technology for people with disabilities internationally. I would like your feedback on this effort, and any others that you are aware of so ATHEN can make a coordinated effort in this area.</FONT></P>
