Wed Jun 15 17:51:51 UTC 2022

Dear Federation Family,

Many of you are unable to travel to New Orleans for the 2022 National Convention. That doesn’t mean you need to miss out. Below is information on how to participate virtually as we have been doing for the past three years. There is still so much to learn and participate in even if you can’t be there in person. Please join your fellow Federationist for the largest gathering of the Blind!

Best Regards,

Maryanne Melley

President

National Federation of the Blind of Connecticut
