ATTENTION!
Are you attending the Professional Development Conference in Boston? If so, we wanted to let you know that Jalberts Affordable Transportation can bring you from Logan Airport to our host hotel. Using Jalberts for your transportation needs could be less expensive than taking a taxi (the more people that ride in one of their vans, the less expensive the per person cost). We encourage you to call Jalberts at 1-978-744-4711. Arrangements must be made prior to arriving in Boston. When you call, please identify yourself as an individual attending the National Braille Association conference. If you have any questions regarding this, please contact our national headquarters at 585-427-8260.
