> 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.
