[Colorado-talk] FW: [Chapter-presidents] Planning a Virtual Convention Banquet in Huntington

[Scott C. LaBarre]

My first  wish  would be that every one of us could attend the NFB
Convention in person and well over 100 Coloradans will be present.  However,
for those who can't go this year, the below is an intriguing idea which
sounds like an enjoyable eveing.  My only gripe with Brad's post is that he
is trying to call West Virginia the Mountain State.  Them there ain't
moutains like we got.  Any way, for those who aren't attending the National,
keep in mind that all general sessions will be available via audio stream of
the national website, www.nfbco.org.  

Best to all!


Scott C. LaBarre, President

National Federation of the Blind of Colorado

Hi Brad,
This sounds like an amazing idea!
It sounds very doable and actually kind of simple. What is so exciting about
this is that it reminds me that we don't need to do extremely complicated
things to make sure the message gets across.

Orlando on Saturday July 6. Unhappily a number of us are not going to be
able to attend in person this year. While admittedly feeling a bit sorry for
myself it occurred to me that with a minimum of difficulty we could create
our own Virtual Banquet here in Huntington. Here is the recipe I intend to
follow.
