Welcome to the California connection for October 19.
From Paul Shayne:
Good Morning Everyone:
It is with a heavy heart that I must announce to you that I will be transitioning from the California Council of the Blind on or about the end of November 2018. I wanted to thank you for allowing me to be a part of your story for the last two years. This experience has changed my life and I will always be your advocate in all things.
Yours In Service,
Paul D. Shane
