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

[Richard McGaffin]

Good morning all,
Alright folks it's time for another public rants! I must say I'm very angry and discouraged by this change in our voting. it took the town of West Haven several years before the worked the bugs out of the current voting we had used. now they want to change it again. You do realize that our town registrar is the type of individual who thinks those of us with disabilities should only be allowed to vote with sighted assistance, so now once again I'll be hassled by the incompetence of the fools who work the polls. Actually I apologize that's a bit strong most of the people who work the polling places aren't fools they're just retired and don't embrace technology. 

I just want to thank those people who've chased me away from the polls I'm now thinking I'll either vote by absentee ballet, where I can use my CCTV, or perhaps I just won't vote at all.
Rich

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!
