[il-talk] Illinois Caucus at the 2016 national convention

[Denise Avant]

Hello all,
I have been given the date and time for the Illinois Caucus at national convention. Please make a note, and spread the word. I’m asking all Illinois attendees to attend this meeting. It’s early, sorry, but it will not last long. It’s a time for you to be introduced to new people in Illinois and reconnect with old friends. It’s also a time to connect and give feedback about anything going on at national convention, including resolutions, as the committee will have met the day before to determine which resolutions should be reported out of committee. 
> ILLINOIS CAUCUS , Sat 7/2, 7:30 AM-8:30 AM, WEKIWA 8  

Also, please be advised that the convention schedue is up. To obtain it, go to www.nfb.org <http://www.nfb.org/>. If I have a chance to download it, I will send it out to everyone. For those of you who are first timers, it’s important that you attend the Rookie Round Up, and for students, it’s important to attend the National Association Of Blind Students meeting.
Some of you have been asked by me to cover key meetings at convention, and report back to the affiliate. Others may have been contacted by our national office to work in the exhibit hall. If so, thank you for your service in either capacity.
The convention is inspiring and fun. I’m sure that all of you who are attending will find this to be the case.
