We are collecting stories about how conventions and NFB change people.
Please send any stories you want to share. Include your phone number and
full name. If you want to send them to just the storybank you can send to me
at pchang at nfb.org. But, if you are willing to share I suspect that everyone
might enjoy these. 

I was thrilled to see my mom listen to some of our stream after I posted the
link on FB. She especially mentioned our scholarship winners. 

I think that their stories are compelling and they tell them well.

convention

Hello everyone,

It was a great and wonderful convention celebration this weekend for the
National Federation of the Blind of Illinois. I appreciate everyone who
helped to make this convention celebration possible. This affiliate has done
and continues to do great things to help blind people live the lives we
want.

Special thanks goes to the 50th anniversary committee, chaired by Marylou
Grunwald and Steve Hastalis. Thanks also goes to Patti Chang for handling
our BEOS and convention registration, Patricia Olson for helping with onsite
registration, Francisco Chang for getting all of our stuff and bringing it
to the hotel, and just being a jack of all trades, Marco Giannotti for
handling sound, Debbie Stein for handling the parents end of things, Marilyn
Green for handling the door prizes and the information table, Pam Gillmore,
Pam Provost, and Teresa Meyer for helping with door prizes, and to all of
the rest who lent a hand whenever and wherever possible. Conventions take a
lot of planning and preparation, and that was definitely the case for this
one.

National Federation of the Blind of Illinois
