[Ct-nfb] state convention 2015

[Hamit Campos]

Wit in what way would the tax thing be bad to do in the way Rob wants to?
The only thing I can see now I think of it is that perhaps it might leed
into people discussing their finances with the person and yeah well for some
that might better to do privately.

Hey Rob,

 

I remember how you did a great job as convention committee chair in 2013, so
I'm glad to have you serving once again.

 

I think the resume writing and job development component is a phenomenal
idea. It is interesting, it helps blind people live the lives we want, and
it focuses on a process.

 

I think learning about tax deductions is a great thing, but I am skeptical
about whether the best way to go about it is to put someone on the agenda to
talk about it. Especially since it's money, I think a compact way to obtain
that nugget of information would be more appropriate. Maybe having someone
as an exhibitor would be a good fit, but I think people could even be well
served by a simple flyer or pamphlet.

 

I also think that the employment related presenter could be more in line
with the philosophy that we want to teach. I support the idea of helping
people with both of these reas, but I believe the employment related one
will build more confidence in people.

 

Thanks for asking!

 

Justin

 First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—

Because I was not a Socialist. 

 

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—

Because I was not a Trade Unionist. 

 

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— 

Because I was not a Jew. 

 

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Hello to all of my NFB  friends

Speaking to you as the Chairman of this  year’s convention committee, I was
looking for a little input. I am planning to have seminars on Friday
afternoon.  I would like to bring in a person to help with resume writing
and job development. Also, since visually impaired and blind individuals
have some tax deductions that some of us may not be aware of, I would like
to bring in person to talk about this. 

 

I would like to take a poll to see how many people would be interested in
attending. 

Please respond to me as soon as you can and let me know if you would be
interested in either one or both.

Thank you in advance for your help! And I look forward to seeing all of you
at this year’s convention on the weekend of November 6,7 and 8

Rob Palaski
