<div>Hi Elizabeth,</div>
<div id="AppleMailSignature"><br>
</div>
<div id="AppleMailSignature">Since we are going to have to work with the nearest ministration for at least the next four years, I think it is best that we try to build a more positive relationship with this administration. We need to educate Mr. Trump and all
of the rest of society about the capacity of blind people. </div>
<div id="AppleMailSignature"><br>
</div>
<div id="AppleMailSignature">There are positive ways to look at the outcome of this election. In fact, the Republican platform included in at the end of the payment of subminimum wage is two workers with disabilities. It is now time for us to hold the party
accountable for the promise and it's campaign platform. The same is true for the Democratic platform, as well.</div>
<div id="AppleMailSignature"><br>
</div>
<div id="AppleMailSignature">So, if you want to join with us in educating the public, including our new president, about the capacity of blind people, we would love to have you. When we build the right kinds of relationships with our elected officials, we are
building the National Federation of the Blind.</div>
<div id="AppleMailSignature"><br>

<div id="AppleMailSignature">Best,</div>

very open in sayng the most nasty things towards disabled people in feeling that they are a burden towards society and why should help be give n towards them. Making it known of not t obe doing to muc h for them and with that felt /known shouldn't

<span>It was great having another where the speakers were different. Last years convention was great also. Let's keep it up for next year. If anyone has any ideas for speakers or topics that you would like to see please post your suggestions.</span><br>

<span>Regarding the 2016 State Convention,</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>First I would like to congratulate our new president and board members on their positions. I am confident they will help build our affiliate and make it stronger.</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>Secondly I would like to thank Dr. Schroeder for attending and the convention committee for their hard work. You all did a fabulous job. The Saturday session was very interesting and great to listen to. It was wonderful having new speakers rather than
the same old thing again and again. The hotel was also great. The staff members and volunteers were professional, navigation was fairly simple and the food was good.</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>As always it is wise to collect bids and look at options for next year but I do not think we should rule out the Hilton Garden in Meriden right away.</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>Thank you to everyone that attended the convention and made it such a success.</span><br>
