Dear Friends
Despite the troubles at the National Council for Persons with
Disabilities, some work is actually still going on there. The staff
there helped me to successfully renew my tax exemption certificate.
Institutions often render some reasonable services even when they
don't have boards, and the Council is not an exception.
