Community Alliance for the Blind (CAB) is Celebrating Five Years of existence and dedicated service to the blind and visually impaired community at large. CAB started out in a little office no bigger than a bedroom and was only serving 10 to 20 blind and visually impaired students. Now CAB is twice its size and CAB is serving over 40 to 60 blind and visually impaired students.
CAB would like to thank the many people, organizations, and businesses that have supported CAB many programs and activities through the last five years. CAB would also like to thank its students for spreading the word bout CAB and attending CAB Activities because without you guys CAB probably wouldn't exist and be as successful as it is today.
