AGENDA
68th Annual ConventionOctober 30 to November 2, 2014The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back. Table of Contents
NFB PledgeI pledge to participate actively in the effort of the National Federation of the Blind to achieve equality, opportunity, and security for the blind; to support the policies and programs of the Federation; and to abide by its constitution.About the NFB of OhioThe National Federation of the Blind of Ohio is a statewide organization composed primarily of blind Ohioans. It is the state affiliate of the National Federation of the Blind, Inc., a national-membership organization which holds nonprofit tax-exempt status under Section 501(c) 3 of the Internal Revenue Code. It is not an organization speaking for the blind; it is the blind speaking for themselves.Navigating the Holiday Inn, Worthingtonby Barbara Pierce The Holiday Inn, Worthington, is located at 7007 North High Street. You enter the building on the second floor—sleeping rooms are on all three floors. But all the meeting rooms are located on the second floor. When you step through the front door, you are facing south. The check-in desk is on your right, on the west wall of the lobby. When you finish checking in, turn 180 degrees so that you are facing east with your back to the desk. Walk about ten feet and turn right, south. Walk twenty-five feet. You will find a wall in front of you with the Adams Room slightly to the right and the restaurant, Connections, to the left. You can turn left and travel east about thirty feet, looking for a hallway to the right. The Worthington Ballroom is at the south end of this hall. If at the Adams Room you turn right, west, instead of left, you are heading toward the North Exhibit Area. On the right is the swimming pool, and on the left is a blank wall, which is the north wall of the ballroom. This area dead-ends into the Patio doors and a wall. You can turn right and travel about forty feet to a left turn, which is the north wing of sleeping rooms. The elevator for these rooms is at the extreme west end of this hall. If you turn left, south, at the Patio doors, you will find yourself in the foyer to the Griswold D, C, B, and A Rooms, which constitute the ballroom. The Griswold Rooms open on the east side of the foyer, with D at the north end and A at the south end.  Halfway along Griswold C, an east-west hallway goes west from the foyer. Six meeting rooms, three on each side, open into this hall. The rooms are, east to west, on the south, left, side of the hall: Wright Room, the Stansbury Room, and the Morrison Room. On the north, right, side are the John Snow Room, the McGregor Room, and the Chase Room. Note that restrooms are located before these meeting rooms, just after the right turn. The women's room is on the left, just before the Wright Room, and the men's room is on the right, just before the John Snow Room. This is the south wing, and the sleeping rooms follow the meeting rooms. The elevator is at the extreme west end of the hall, but you must jog to the right to find it.Convention Arrangements and Literature If you have any questions about convention arrangements, contact Karen Warner, Convention coordinator.Registration and Literature NFB literature will be available during registration hours in the Griswold Foyer  Area Friday, October 31, from 11:00 am to 1:20 pm and 3:30 pm to 4:30 pm; and Saturday, November 1, from 8:30 am to 8:50 amDoor Prizes Door prizes should be labeled clearly in print and Braille with the donor's name and the amount of cash or type of gift.
