Friday night dinner will be on your own this year. An excellent option is

very good food at reasonable rates. The hotel will have firepits on their
outdoor patio in time for our convention. We will be holding our Vendor Fair

hear from Affiliate President Maryanne Melley, our National Representative
Gary Wunder and a variety of innovative speakers.

 

Lunch will be served from 12pm-1:00pm. Speakers will continue after lunch.
We will also hold open discussion sessions, including one regarding Uber and
Lyft usage. The CT Association of Blind Students meeting will be held from
2:00pm to 3:00pm and the CT Association of Guide Dog Users meeting will be
held from 3:30pm to 4:30pm. 

 

Our Banquet will begin at 6:00pm. National Representative Gary Wunder will
address our convention during the banquet Saturday evening. Also, we will
present Academic Scholarship Awards.

 

We will, of course, have our 50/50 and basket raffles!
