[ISLMA-Share] Assistive Technology grant?

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

I have an elementary student with severe blindness. I needed some special
equipment and I put it out there to a couple local banks and business
people of some equipment that would help this student. I had everything in
two weeks. You might chat with them about sponsoring a desk or a piece of
equipment. A quick shout out on a facebook/twitter/school website is very
valuable.
