[CT-NFB] Updated information for the 2022 NFB of CT State Convention

[janetcw at sbcglobal.net]

Hi  Lucia, 

 

It is unfortunate that the NFB of CT is holding the convention in person only. 

 

As   I am sure you are aware, with the advent of Zoom technology, organizations have been able to open up their meetings and programs to many people who might have not attended otherwise. 

 

Especially for a group with visual disabilities, it would have  been nice to open the convention to those who, for many reasons, could not attend in person. 

 

I feel the NFB of CT deprived the organization by that action. 

 

I will not be attending. 

 

Janet 

 

P.S. Would you please forward this to the president of the NFB of CT. I couldn’t pull up her address. Thank you.

This means all participants must submit a negative Covid test to Lucia Lee at  <mailto:llee at nfbct.org> llee at nfbct.org no sooner than 72 hours prior to the start of convention on November 4th. All attendees will be required to wear masks during the entire time, with the exception of when eating and speaking at the microphone.

Dinner starts at 6:00p.m. on Friday November 4th, not 5:00p.m. Please feel free to join in with Judy Potter, Jim Cronin and our national representative for an evening of entertainment on Friday November 4th starting at 7:00p.m. Also bring your extra cash for Jailhouse karaoke. For $5.00 you can put someone in “jail” that person has to either sing a song or pay $5.00 to get out of “jail”. Have fun putting people on the spot!  Also, there will be a cash bar available.
