Each group needed to decide whether they wanted to do it and marshal their own resources to do so. There is no way that our national staff could have put every meeting online through Zoom or other platforms. So you will need to check with the various entities whether they are providing a virtual component or not. I know that the lawyers are, for example. I don’t know if NAGDU is, but we have some active NAGDU members on this list who will inform us.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Okay, have a great 4<sup>th</sup> weekend everyone!!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b>From:</b> Colorado-Talk <colorado-talk-bounces@nfbnet.org> <b>On Behalf Of </b>Sherry Gomes via Colorado-Talk<br><b>Sent:</b> Saturday, July 2, 2022 11:11 AM<br><b>To:</b> nfb of colorado email list (colorado-talk@nfbnet.org) <colorado-talk@nfbnet.org><br><b>Cc:</b> Sherry Gomes <sherry.gomes@outlook.com><br><b>Subject:</b> [Colorado-Talk] virtual convention and affiliate question<o:p></o:p></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Hi everyone,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I’m attending the convention virtually this year. As a cancer survivor, I don’t feel I should participate in large groups yet. Besides, I moved and bought a new home in March, so funds … well, you get the idea. I was dismayed that on the agenda, none of the Tuesday and Wednesday activities appear to have zoom links. Is this the case? I’m deeply disappointed about this if so. As a guide dog handler and a person with other disabilities, I was hoping to participate in those meetings.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Also, I wanted to let everyone know that I have moved. I’ve moved out of state, back to California. Does anyone have contact info for people in the California affiliate, so I can get plugged in. And can I stay here on this list and interact with you all still? I’ve been so impressed with the Colorado affiliate and the warmth and energy of all of you. You brought me back to much more active participation and interest in being part of NFB again. I appreciate you all.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thanks.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Sherry<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Author of Haven, book 1 in the Haven Valley Series, available from amazon and audible.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Haven-Sherry-Gomes-ebook/dp/B09889YJSH/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2Z838OQBUO9GD&keywords=sherry+gomes&qid=1647716068&s=digital-text&sprefix=sherry+gomes%2Cdigital-text%2C121&sr=1-1">Haven - Kindle edition by Gomes, Sherry.
