Dear Janice,

Registration for THE WHOLE THING will not occur for awhile yet. WATCH FOR
DETAILS: LABELED NFB ANNUAL CONVENTION REGISTRATION (this will have online
capability)I will send out notices on this list.

 The Agenda FOR THE WHOLE THING will be available online June 1st.

 Convention highlights and Attractions FOR THE WHOLE THING (including the
NOPBC Conference agenda I just sent out) will be in the April issue of the
Braille Monitor. (Which can be viewed online or subscribed for free to by
becoming a member of your state NFB)

The Parent PORTION (just a part of the WHOLE)Agenda(NOPBC conference
schedule which Dave Andrews posted as an attachment to this list I believe):
Has its own pre-registration, fees, agenda. This you can not register for
online. Download the pre-registration for the parent PORTION and do it asap
and mail it to me at the address on the form.

IF YOU ARE A PARENT COMING: YOU MUST REGISTER to attend TWICE, once to the
parent portion and once to the whole thing.

IF YOU ARE A PARENT WITH A SMALL CHILD UNDER AGE 10: and you want childcare
in addition to the children's activities or for times when there are no
children's activities but GENERAL SESSIONS FOR THE WHOLE THING. Then you
must register for a THIRD thing. NFB camp: which will be in the April issue
of the Braille Monitor and the spring issue of Future Reflections. I will
also post it when it comes out.

This is also explained two or three times within the Conference schedule and
agenda I sent out for the parent portion. 

Make HOTEL RESERVATIONS NOW also from the directions at the home page
www.nfb.org <http://www.nfb.org/> .

Hope this helps, if it does not ask again. I will be happy to say it again,
and I am sure I will before the week is out-smile.

If you did not get the NOPBC Schedule and Pre-registration (PARENT PORTION)
attachment write me and I will re-send.

Best Keep our humor about this, smile,

I am missing something here. I go to the NFB site but find only info about
motel accommodations and dates.  Where is everyone seeing agenda, sign-ups
and information?  I will be a first time attendee and I don't want to miss
out! Help!  Janice & Ari

***********Take Note Carefully****************

Hello,

Well, remember I am a first timer, sheepish smile. Already I have gotten

some pre-registrations. And there is some confusion with the children's

programs.

The science and art choices on Friday: THEY CAN GO TO BOTH. If you pick one

there will be nothing for them to go to the other 90 minutes. These are two

90 minute back to back, rotating by age. Younger kids go to Science first,

Older ones art. And then vice versa ******Another fly in the

ointment****TEENS can skip this all together and go only to TEEN Track

stuff. 

TEEN TRACK workshops ARE ONLY ON FRIDAY. There is nothing scheduled during

the day for TEEN TRACK/YOUTH TRACK on Saturday. That night they will be able

to attend the NABS meeting.  They can sign-up for Music or MOVE it MOVE it

on Saturday if you or they wish. 

The Saturday workshops are the same as Friday: two 90 minute back to back.

They can go to BOTH, if you only pick one they have nothing to do the other

90 minutes. They will rotate by age. 

Younger kids go to music first, then Move it. Older kids go to Move it first

then Music.

************please print and save this for when you fill out your forms,

which I am sure most of you will do right away this weekend!***************
