[AERNet] Recruit, Recruit, Recruit!

[Judi Piscitello]

I learned about this great recruitment resource from the AER Division 17
listserv.  I added it right away into my form letter that I send to
districts looking for TVIs and COMS'.  This is too good to be kept a
secret, so I'm sharing it with this list as well!

The Northeast Regional Center for Vision Education is pleased to
