Approximately once every other quarter conferences of this nature are held in Columbus. Some of you may remember that several members and I attended a conference very similar to this one coming up in November back in May.<br>It was an excellent conference, we were able to network with many different agencies across the state, give a specific group presentation about the national Federation of the blind of Ohio, and even get free lunch.<br>This conferences upcoming again, and will be held during the week of November 13. We have already committed to participating and I’m curious to know if there’s anyone willing, and able to staff the event. Just tentatively, the event will be held in downtown Columbus at the convention center, and the set up for the event is on Thursday afternoon with hospitality evening to follow, and before event day the following day. If anyone is able, and willing, please contact me directly and I will give you the details.<br>Is my opinion that our presents over the last year has grown infinitely larger, and the only way to continue this momentum is to attend events such as these. Other members who have attended events in the past few free to weigh in with your thoughts and comments but I would very much like to have some participation from members here in Columbus. Thanks everyone for all of the things that you do. Lastly, I have a new phone number and this is the most efficient way to reach me. I no longer live in Columbus, very much look forward to seeing those will be in attendance at this weekend‘s convention very soon.<br>614-531-3945</div><div></div><div><br><div id="AppleMailSignature">Jordy D.
