> >> Greetings Everyone!
> >>
> >> We are calling all high school and college students and those
> >> transitioning between the two, to join us on October 22, 2010 for our
> >> Maryland Association of Blind Students meeting at our State convention.
> >> The schedule of events can be found below.  If you are new to the NFB or
> >> are not sure if you have met any other students, do not allow this to
> >> stop
> >> you from attending!  This student association was implemented for that
> >> sole purpose: to get students talking to other students.  Therefore, we
> >> will help you get to know others by starting with fun ice breakers!
> >> Additionally, we will be hosting a panel of current college undergraduate
> >> students, doctoral students, and college graduates so that we can answer
> >> any question that you may have pertaining to post-secondary education.
> >> Whether you are unsure about which devices may work best, which campuses
> >> are more accessible, which methods should be used in a classroom, or even
> >> which clubs or organizations will allow you to meet great people or
> >> improve your school experience, the panel is ready and willing to answer
> >> your questions!  After convention this year, we want to continue to help
> >> out in any way that we can, and we would love it if you could remain an
> >> active participant in our association.  Because after all, we acknowledge
> >> that sometimes we may need help from others in order to obtain our goals.
> >>
