    # There are so many things millennials will never experience that were common place to us back in the day. Black and white TV; transistor radios; watching one episode of a favorite show each week; playing with kids in the neighborhood without need of a play date; having a telephone conversation with one person at a time; walking two miles uphill both ways to school; and so much more. Let’s share some of our old favorites.  All are welcome!

    VISAbilities – Unforgettable ACB Moments:

    We want to continue hearing your stories to be added to our future recording in celebration of ACB’s 60th anniversary year. We have now had 60 national conventions, dozens of legislative seminars, countless affiliate conventions and chapter meetings, and lots and lots of socials. Each one has had a major achievement or happening, something hysterically funny you will never forget, a very moving moment, a new friendship or other relationship. Come share your favorite moments or maybe it’s even an embarrassing incident. It’s all in good taste and camaraderie. If you can’t make the call but have something you would like to share, drop an email to [email protected].
