> The Maryland Association of Blind Students (MDABS,) a proud division of the
> National Federation of the Blind of Maryland (NFBMD) is pleased to announce
> our first Social Savvy seminar, to be held on April 27, 2013 in Chevy Chase,
> Maryland. This seminar will focus on ways in which a blind student can enjoy
> and benefit from social activities. We will also discuss alternative
> techniques which can be used in social settings. Some topics currently on
> our agenda include table ettiquet, nonvisual techniques for cooking and
> going through buffet lines, party planning, dancing and much more. We will
> also offer breakout sessions for the ladies and the gentlemen which will
> give participants the opportunity to learn about techniques specific to
> their gender as well as to discuss topics and issues. Some examples include
> tie-tying and chivalry for the guys, as well as fashion and makeup for the
> ladies. There will also be opportunities for participants to connect and
> network with each other in a fun and supportive setting. All in all, we hope
> that this seminar will help to increase your "social savvy" as a blind high
> school or college student.
