Subject: [Nfbnet-members-list] Catch the Excitement: Join the NFB of Maryland Convention Online

Fellow Federationists,

The time for the 48th annual convention of the National Federation of the Blind of Maryland is upon us! This year we are celebrating the kickoff to our 75th year in true Federation style with a variety of not-to-be-missed presentations which commemorate our past, report on our present, and dream for our future. We are of course hoping that many of you will join us in Towson this weekend for this historic gathering. If you are unable to join us in person, however, you can still catch the excitement by following along via our online stream and our Twitter feed.

As in past years, we will be streaming the Board of Directors meeting, all general sessions and the banquet on our Web site. To tune in, visit www.nfbmd.org<http://www.nfbmd.org> and follow the link on our homepage corresponding to your media player of choice. The streaming schedule is as follows (all times are Eastern):

Friday, November 14
10:00-11:30 AM: Board of Directors Meeting
Saturday, November 15
8:45 AM-12:00 PM: General Session
2:00-5:00 PM: General Session
7:00-10:00 PM: 48th Annual Banquet
Sunday, November 16
9:00 AM-12:00 PM: General Session

We will also live tweet all sessions using the NFB of Maryland Twitter account. To keep up on the latest from the convention floor, please follow @NFBMD. If tweeting about the convention, please use the hashtag #NFBMD14. Our social media team will be monitoring our Twitter feed throughout the convention and we would love to hear from you. If you are listening to the stream or following along on Twitter, please let us know you are out there. To do so, mention @NFBMD in a tweet and/or use #NFBMD14. You just might receive a shout-out from the convention so you will know we appreciate your listening! Don't have Twitter? No problem. We still want to know you are listening and enjoying the convention. Send an email to nfbmaryland at gmail.com<mailto:nfbmaryland at gmail.com>. We will also monitor this account during the sessions and give shout-outs to those who send us comments via email.

Whether it's through our stream, Twitter, or email, please be a part of the information, energy and excitement which will make up this year's convention. Also, interact with us and tell us what you think. If you will be joining us in Towson, see you there! If not, see you online!

Yours in the movement,

Chris Nusbaum, Coordinator of Social Media
National Federation of the Blind of Maryland
