[Ct-nfb] You're invited to National Federation of the Blind of Connecticut 2016 State Convention

[Esther Levegnale]

Hi, Eileen,

The tablet is replacing the Vote by Phone system.  It will have both a touch pad and a keypad for those who choose to use the device that way.  I haven't seen it but it should be much better, since our ballots will be included with everyone else's.  I always had to place my ballot into an envelope and it was kept separate from all the other ballots.  I hope this clarifies this for you.  Looking forward to seeing you at the convention.

>> Hello, all. Below is the link to register on line for our state convention. We have some great speakers lined up, most of whom have never been featured at one of our conventions. It's going to be good, so register ASAP. The deadline for registering ahead of time is October 24. There will be an additional fee of ten dollars for registering at the door. Also, remember to contact the Hilton Garden Inn before October 21 to reserve a room at the convention rate. Registration includes choices for lunch and for the banquet dinner on Saturday. We were unable to get these choices included in the online registration. We're working to correct this issue. In the meantime, please e-mail me your meal  choices. The options for lunch are turkey wrap, roast beef wrap, and vegetable wrap. For the banquet, they are New York sirloin, chicken piccata, and vegetable lasagne. I've found this link to be very accessible on my iPhone and on my Windows PC with JAWS. If you have any problems of any kind, let me know. Here's looking forward to an awesome convention!
