Whether you are blind vendor, parent of a blind child, sighted family of a person who is blind it doesn’t matter where you live in our great community or what you do. I guarantee you will benefit from checking out our national convention. I guarantee you have friends or family members who might want to win a door prize or take advantage of some other aspects of the convention. So, please take a few moments and register. You probably know by now that <a href="https://www.nfb.org/registration">registration is free</a>. The deadline is June 15. We in the National Federation of the Blind warmly invite all of our fellow citizens to join the convention of the National Federation of the Blind. I remember the first time my parents, who were sighted, attended national convention. They had a ball! They particularly enjoyed the presidential report, the roll call of states, and the banquet address. Mom and Dad were able to learn what the Federation was truly about. They sat in on the Merchants division meeting, the Guide Dog division meeting, and the Performing Arts division meeting. They attended 12 more national conventions and became active members of our Federation family. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>This may be your opportunity to introduce one of your family members, friends, or neighbors to our convention. Nothing wrong with a little proselytizing. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Have you ever returned from convention and have someone ask, “what the heck is that all about? What do you people do at that convention all week anyway?” Well, here is a chance for your buddies to get a taste of our convention program content. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Remember, no airline ticket. No banquet ticket. No $35 breakfast buffet. No hotel room cost. But all of the fun and festivities on your phone, smartphone app, or computer. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>We will help anyone who needs help registering. With your help we will help folks get online and get acclimated to the virtual convention. I am sure we will also have some convention training calls. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Let’s rock this!
