Hi Kevin,
It's a bit overwhelming, but you'll meet a lot of nice people and
hear lots of enthusiastic noise! I don't think you'll get stuck
in the bird cage. In fact, you'll hardly hear the birds once the
crowd gets there. Allow yourself plenty of time to get where
you're going. The elevators will be crowded, except on the last
three mornings when you're going to devotions! Hahaha! I'm sure
you'll go to at least the one at which Sarah is speaking, and I'm
sure you'll attend the Communities of Faith Division meeting, at
which she is also speaking, so I'll meet you, to which I am
looking forward.
Since we now can have the agenda in electronic format, I download
it ahead of time and mark the time for the meetings I need to be
attending. I also go through the exhibitors list and mark the
tables I'd like to check out. That's tricky this year, since
products are not mentioned.
The last time I checked, the Braille hotel restaurant menus
weren't posted. I like to get them as well, so I can look them
over and maybe decide where and what I'd like to eat. Speaking
of which, I'm alone in my room this year, and am looking for
people who'd like a meal companion. My roommate usually ate with
me a few times, but she is not able to attend this year due to
being in a rehab center. She, Evelyn Weckerly, would appreciate
any prayers on her behalf. She feels badly that I have to pay
for the whole room, but she has a heart velve that's not keeping
up.
Anyway, Kevin, I'll be praying for you. I'm sure you'll make
many new friends and eat lots of good food!
Blessings,
Linda

Next week I will be attending my first ever NFB convention. I am
no stranger to conventions, as I have attended several national
conventions of the, um, other blindness organizations. Even
still, I have the distinct impression next week will be a
completely new and different experience for me. I am asking for,
yes, prayers next week, prayers that all will go smoothly and
that I won't wind up getting caught in the bird cage in the
lobby. Anyway, I am looking forward to it, albeit with a bit of
anxiety thrown in. Hope to meet at least some of you there.
