[Paul Martinez]

Greetings Federationist,

I hope you are as excited for our upcoming national convention as I
am. As you all are aware the NFB of Florida is awarding 10 people in
the amount of $300, to assist with attending the national convention

This email is a friendly reminder that the deadline for submitting the
application is on Saturday, May 7th. I have attached a copy of the
application and have pasted the document below for your convenience.
Please let me know if you have any questions and I look forward in
seeing all of you at our national convention.

Best,

Paul M. Martinez

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create
obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life
you want; blindness is not what holds you back.
