[blparent] Blind Parent Group meeting in Orlando

[Joanne Zucker]

Hi Tamika,

Yes, I think there is a different meeting that what is already on the schedule. Angela Frederick, a blind parent and college professor, is conducting 4 different session of 6 or 7 mom's each to network/chat for a research project that she is conducting. They are at 4 different times....I can look it up and get back to you, if you wish.  I can also send you the e-mail that was posted on blparents listserv. I had a difficult time figuring out which session would be best for me, as there were too many conflicts with other sessions that I want to attend.  I have an interest in research, so I will attend part of one session and then go to the session that I signed up for...you have to sign up for the sessions off list to Angela.  

I also would not mind networking with you and other mom's, as well.  No, my children are not coming.  I have 3 boys...17, 15, and 12. My oldest will graduate from high school this Friday.  I am so excited for him.  :)

I am also in the same boat as you....I am up with all the posts, but I do not post too often myself.

So, you say you are a student...what are you going to school for?  I am in between schools.  I just graduated with my 3rd Masters a year ago and I plan on attending again in the next year or two.

See you in a couple of weeks.  By the way, my contact information is jezu36 at yahoo.com and my cell is 518-534-4566.

Joanne

Hi parents,

My name is Tamika Williams and I joined this list about a couple of
years ago. However, I mostly try to keep up with the threaded
discussions so I don't appear to be to active on this discussion list
but I am.

my question is "Is there another meeting other than that one time
listed on the convention agenda?" For some reason I thought I
remembered us talking about this last year or the year before and
someone said that there is usually a meeting held for the ones who
couldn't make it to the one listed on the agenda.

I am a student but also a nblind parent and for the last two years the
blind parents group has met during the National Association of Blind
Students meeting which causes me not to be able to come and
participate in the group meeting as I wish I could.

Please let me know if there is a second meeting.

Thanks,
Tamika
