Welcome to the CCB Happenings for April 19, 2024.

From ACB Next Generation:

Dear ACB community,
On behalf of the entire ACB Next Generation Auction Committee, we would like to extend our deepest gratitude to each and every one of you who attended and participated in this year’s second-annual ACB Next Generation "Spring into Auction" event on Sunday, April 7, 2024. Your overwhelming support and generous bids made this event a tremendous success. It was truly heartwarming to see the community come together in support of our mission and vision. Your contributions will go a long way in helping us continue our efforts to empower and uplift the next generation of leaders within the ACB community.
Whether you were there to bid on auction items, offer your encouragement, or simply lend your presence to the occasion, your involvement made a significant impact. We are incredibly grateful for your continued support and commitment to our cause.
Thank you once again for your unwavering dedication and generosity. We look forward to continuing our journey together and creating a brighter future for all. With sincere appreciation,
Lindsey LaVere and Moe Carpenter, Fundraising co-chairs, the Fundraising Committee, and the Auction Committee,

From Blind Information Technology Specialists:

BITS (Blind Information Technology Specialists) is an ACB affiliate.
We want to give back to the ACB community by offering a twice-monthly training of technology basics through ACB community calls on zoom.
Look for us teaching you through our Basics With BITS presentations on the second and fourth Saturdays of each month at noon pacific. You will need to get the zoom information from the ACB community internet mailing list. If you aren’t already signed up, send a blank email to
Acb-community-events+subscribe@groups.io
Also, on the first and third Saturdays of each month, at the same time, there’s an iPhone Basics presentation so every Saturday you have a chance to get some beginner-level technology training absolutely free from ACB community.
These trainings are recorded, streamed and podcasted by ACB community, so even if you miss a Saturday, you can always get the podcast later. You can also listen to them on ACB media 5
