Unfortunately, we will not be able to meet in person this year. We will be getting together virtually. Soon, you will see information about registration and all of the ways you will be able to participate in the biggest, most awesome state convention here in the beautiful Rocky Mountains over Halloween weekend. Don’t be scared. It’s just virtual! Soon we will be announcing requests for proposals for groups, individuals and divisions who would like to develop and provide content for the convention. Soon we will be asking everyone to reach out to folks urging them to register and to attend. We are planning ways for folks to be able to vote, be eligible for door prizes, an auction, a fabulous opening ceremony, and a Saturday evening Halloween virtual banquet. We look forward to all of your ideas. Together with love, hope, and determination, even through the times of pandemic we will continue to transform dreams into reality. So please, plan to join us the last weekend of October for a dynamic convention of the National Federation of the Blind. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Leelawadee",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>At Your Service,<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>Kevan Worley<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><i><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>Manager, NFBCO Project Literacy<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>Cell: (303)929-2369<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'><a href="http://www.nfbco.org/"><span style='color:#0563C1'>www.nfbco.org</span></a> <o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
