I have been fortunate to attend four national conventions. I would echo Bri’s sentiments of enjoying the fellowship with other members and meeting new people also. There’s something very powerful about being part of a larger group of people who have common goals but very different stories. The speakers at general session are a favorite part as well for me.<br><br><div id="AppleMailSignature" dir="ltr"><div>Sincerely,</div> Deb Reed<div>Central CT Chapter President </div><div><span style="font-size: 13pt;">National Federation Of The Blind</span><br><div><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Phone - 860-973-3679 </span></div><div><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Cell-860-378-5370</span></div><div>Email - <a href="mailto:deb.reed57@gmail.com">deb.reed57@gmail.com</a></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div></div><div dir="ltr"><br>On Oct 29, 2020, at 1:30 PM, ngrice5456--- via CT-NFB <<a href="mailto:ct-nfb@nfbnet.org">ct-nfb@nfbnet.org</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr">

Subject: [CT-NFB] Thursday Question<br>
<br>
<div id="yiv2776578912">
<div>Hey everyone,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It’s Thursday, so its time for another thought-provoking question! How many state conventions have you attended, and what is your favorite part? If this year will be the first time you attend, what are you looking forward to most?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I’ve attended at least three state conventions so far. With everything going virtual this year, it’ll be a little bit different, but my favorite part is getting to meet new people and seeing old friends. I really love to make connections. I also love hearing from the national reps.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Can’t wait to hear your answers!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Best,</div>
<div>Bri<br>
