From nabs.president at gmail.com Tue Mar 1 04:12:08 2011 From: nabs.president at gmail.com (Arielle Silverman) Date: Mon, 28 Feb 2011 21:12:08 -0700 Subject: [Mabs] NABS Announcements Message-ID: Hello NABS members, I hope all of you are having an excellent semester. I just wanted to make a few brief announcements: 1. I will be publishing another bulletin this time next week. If you have activities you'd like announced, like upcoming seminars, please send me your announcements at nabs.president at gmail.com by this Sunday, March 6. 2. As many of you know, one of the things the National Association of Blind Students can offer your student division is a board member to come to your state convention, student seminar, or other meeting. Our board members are all experienced student leaders who can assist your student division with organizing, planning events, transitioning your leadership, or just putting together a fun, informative seminar. Many of you have taken advantage of our offer of NABS board reps and it has been our pleasure to come to your student meetings. I would just like to issue a few friendly reminders about our NABS rep process to ensure that everything runs smoothly, and to educate you if this is your first time requesting a NABS rep. First, if you have a convention or other meeting coming up and would like to request a NABS rep, please plan ahead and request one as early as possible. If we get a request less than four weeks before your event, we will try to accommodate you, but we cannot guarantee that we'll be able to send a rep. The reason for this is that airplane tickets can sometimes get very expensive when bought less than a month in advance, so please help us out and make your request early. Second, before you request, please ask your state affiliate president first if they'd be willing to pay for the rep's hotel and meals during the event. NABS pays for their transportation, but we can't afford to pay for hotel and meals too, so we'll need your affiliate to agree to pay those costs. Finally, once you're ready to request, please go to www.nabslink.org and fill out the short request form. I will get it emailed to me and then will dispatch it to the appropriate representative. You may request specific board members, but we will make the final decision based on availability, cost and other factors. If you don't request a specific person, we will make an effort to send your assigned representative for your region. You can find out who your regional rep is by going to the "Contact NABS" section of our website. Lastly, if you haven't done so already, please email me your contact information if you are a newly elected student division president so we can update our records. Thanks for your cooperation!

Message-ID: Hello NABS, It?s amazing how much stress we go through on a daily basis.

And thinking about it seems pointless because of what?s already on your plate. But what if you could have it taken care of and not have to think about it till you?re free, free, free? Perhaps your lovely membership committee can assist you in making your plans with this month?s conference call, all about summer programs at NFB training centers. Representatives from the Louisiana and Colorado centers, Blind Inc, and Blind Industries and Services of maryland will be on hand to talk about and answer questions about their respective programs.

Contact Karen Anderson (402-319-7645) if interested. >From North Carolina: The North Carolina Association of Blind Students is having its third annual student seminar on March 19th in Raleigh, NC. This event continues to grow. We launched a major recruitment initiative, where we called and emailed every one of the 128 institutions of higher education in our state, every services for the blind employee, and every teacher of the visually impaired in our state. Last year, we experimented with a small technology fair that consisted of impromptu exhibits run by our leaders and our state affiliate president. This year, we will have a full exhibit hall with 28 exhibits, including guide dog schools, adaptive recreation programs, adaptive technology, employment opportunities, blindness skill training centers, and more. Our exhibit hall will include agencies from many states, including California, New York, Minnesota, Florida, Kansas, Michigan, and others. We are also having all-day literature tables for those agencies that were not able to send representatives. We charged no fee for the exhibit hall and a creative new type of fee for the literature tables. We asked all agencies wanting to participate in the literature tables to provide us with at least one door prize to distribute on their behalf. This gives them easy advertising and us more door prizes. We will be having speakers in the morning to get attendees pumped up with the fact that blind people can do anything. Then, we?ll send them to the exhibit hall, followed by an hour for lunch (catered as a donation from Whole Foods Market). In the afternoon, we will have more speakers and 3 periods of breakout sessions. The last 45 minutes of our day will include speakers about different NFB events, such as the national convention, Washington Seminar, and the Blind Driver Challenge, to get attendees excited about the NFB. Finally, we will invite reflections from attendees and ask them to step up if they want to help plan a summer event. I will leave you with two pieces of advice from my experience in planning the seminar: 1. If you plan to have an exhibit hall, make sure that your seminar does not overlap with CSUN or any other major blindness event that will steal many of the smaller agencies? representatives. 2. Don?t be afraid to ask your state affiliate for help. There are so many people in our state affiliate who are helping us make this seminar great. The Federation supports its future. >From California: Announcing the 2011 California Chemistry Camp for Blind High School Students! Would you like to learn how blind people tackle the very visual subject of organic chemistry successfully? Do you have a general love for science? Do you want to learn how you can do chemistry as a blind person just as successfully as your sighted peers? Are you interested in how blind professionals use science in their careers every day? Then the 2011 California Chemistry Camp is for you! Come join the National Federation of the Blind of California, the California Association of Blind Students, the Lighthouse for the Blind of San Francisco, the University of California, Davis chemistry department, and up to twelve blind and low-vision high school students for an Educational, exciting, and Fun-Filled weekend of science! When: Friday, April 29 through Sunday, May 1, 2011. Where: Enchanted Hills Camp near Napa, California. Who: Up to twelve blind high school students ages 14-18 will be selected to participate. Cost: There is no cost to apply for the program. The National Federation of the Blind of California, the California association of Blind Students, and the Lighthouse for the Blind of San Francisco are underwriting the camp. Once accepted, however, donations from students or parents to the National Federation of the Blind of California would be most appreciated to off-set the expenses associated with the program. During this exciting and busy 3-day experience, students will get to learn how blind people use chemistry in their careers, will explore techniques used by blind people to make chemistry accessible, perform hands-on accessible chemistry experiments, apply the chemistry they learned to some basic cooking, see the chemistry they learned turned into action with an exhilarating magic show, and talk with blind scientists who use science in their professional careers. The students will also be able to participate in recreational activities possibly including swimming and the martial art of Judo. Note that students need not only love science to apply. This will be a learning experience for all blind people! To fill out the application, go to: www.sixdots.org and follow the link on the main page to the application form. We hope to see you at camp!

Message-ID: Hi all, Just a quick reminder that we will be having two conference calls today! (well, maybe one and a half, if you want to think about it that way). the first call is at 6:30 ET or3:30 PT (depending on the coast), and will be a continuation of the summer programs call. We will have BLIND inc and LCB reps on for your benifit. They will talk about their summer programs for blind middle, high school and college youth. The second call, to begin at 7p.m. ET, or 4p.m. PT (again, depending on your coastal bias) will mark the return of the training centers call. This call will be for those who are interested in learning more about the three nfb training centers known as The Louisiana Center for the Blind, The Colorado Center for the Blind, and Blindness Learning in New Dimensions Incorporated (BLIND Inc). We are excited to have current students from these three world-class training facilities as our guest speakers, who will share their stories and answer your questions about the challanges and expiriences of training center life. So please come with your questions, and come ready to have them answered! We are looking forward to having you on this call! to recap: what?: Summer programs: a conference call pt. 2 and Training centers conference call: the sequel - Who?:sponsored by the National Association of Blind students (via the nabs membership committee) When?: today! March 27th at 6:30 ET Where?:conference call! (712) 775- 7100 passcode: 257 963 Why?: Because We in the National Federation of the blind believe that success as a blind person means mastery of the skills of blindness, and these centers are a great way to pick up some pretty awesome alternitive techniques! (and you know you want your monthly fix of nabs awesomeness too!) See you there, The nabs membership committee.
