Subject: [Blindtlk] Looking for community service stories

 Hello, everyone,

Please pass the following announcement on to anyone you think would be
interested.

February begins National Green Week*, and spring is also the time for
the Great American Cleanup**. With this in mind and with spring and
warmer weather approaching, throughout February the Community Service
Group is looking for stories about your outdoor or green community
service experiences to feature on its blog at
nfbcommunityservice.wordpress.com.

Have you helped to plant a garden? Cleaned up a section of highway?
Worked on a recycling project? We want to hear about it!

You can start sending in your stories on February 1. Stories should be
no more than 500 words. Stories should be submitted by February 20 to
ensure inclusion in the blog during the month of February, but this is
a month-long event. In keeping with the theme, we want to feature
stories throughout the month, so feel free to send them in any time
between now and the 20th. Send stories as an attachment or in the body
of a message to Christine-parsons at sbcglobal.net. Be sure to include
your name, state, and a title with each submission. I look forward to
reading about your experiences.

*National Green Week is an initiative created by the Green Education
Fund. More information about National Green Week can be found at

NABS? Mid-Winter Seminar is Upon Us



It?s just about that time of year once again. As you pack your bags and
prepare to converge on Washington DC for the NFB Washington Seminar, don?t
forget to mark your calendar for NABS? Mid-Winter Gathering, being held on
Monday, February 6 in the Discovery II room of the Holiday Inn Capitol, 550
C Street SW, Washington, DC. Registration will open at 8:00am, and the
meeting will start promptly at 9:00 and run until 4:00. We will be
presenting speakers and holding breakout sessions from 9:00 to 1:00, and
after lunch, there will be a resource fair from 2:30 to 4:00. Come on out to
learn about scholarship opportunities, find out more about what NABS is up
to, and engage in discussions about technology and professional development.
Students will also have the chance to hear from a blind science Ph.D and
documentarian, as well as getting hot tips on legislative advocacy from the
NFB?s governmental affairs all-stars. Don?t miss it!



NABS Caf?: Good Times, Great Cause



When: Monday, February 6 from 8:00pm to midnight

Where: The Discovery II room of the Holiday Inn Capitol, 550 C Street SW,
Washington, DC

What: Live music; silent and live auction; cash bar, free snacks; and the
chance to meet and mingle with new friends and old, while supporting the
National Association of Blind students

How Much: $5 with advanced purchase and $7 at the door

Why: Because it?s going to be Awesome!



The National Association of Blind Students would like to cordially invite
you to attend NABS Caf? 2012!



Drop in between 8:00 and 9:00 pm to place silent bids on an excellent list
of auction items (including: a pair of Disney Park Hopper passes, a week in
a luxury 6 bedroom vacation home on North Carolina?s Outer Banks, a
SmartView video magnifier, a Victor Reader Stream, gift baskets from Lush
and Mary Kay, iPod accessories, chocolate, wine, and so much more), and then
stick around throughout the night as all-star auctioneer Jacki Brown brings
items live, while entertaining bidders and spectators alike!



>From 9:00 to midnight items will be auctioned off between sets of live
music, performed by some of the NFB?s most talented musicians, like Parnell
Diggs, Chris Danielson, Briley Pollard, Richie Flores, Sean Whalen, and
Michelle Yang.



And, of course, there will be a cash bar, as well as light snacks available
at no charge.



So, come on out, bring your friends, and make some new ones! All are invited
to support the important work of the NFB students.



To prepurchase tickets for $5, see any member of the NABS board on Sunday
February 5, or before the event on Monday, February 6. We?ll be all over the
hotel, and making our presence known. You can also find us at the NABS
winter seminar in the foyer to Discovery II between 9:00am and 1:00pm, or at
our resource fair for blind students between 2:30 and 4:00 pm in the same
location. If you wish to prepurchase, but are unable to find a NABS board
member, please call, text or email Sean Whalen at 608 332-4147 or
smwhalenpsp at gmail.com. We will get you hooked up! Tickets will also be
available for $7 at the door.



We look forward to seeing you on Monday February 6!



Watch our Website



The NABS Website Committee has been hard at work compiling a list of
resources for blind students for nabslink.org, and it is almost ready to go
live! Keep an eye on your inbox, because a link will be distributed shortly
to a test version of the page. We want all of you to check it out and let us
know what you think. Do you have suggestions for additional categories of
resources? Did we overlook something obvious that isn?t included? Do you
have a well-kept secret of a resource of which the world should be aware?
Let us know! The link will be circulated on our list serve in the near
future, and the page will be posted live before our February 6 meeting!



State Announcements



Note: All announcements are printed below as they were received from their
senders. No effort to edit for content, grammar or clarity has been made on
the part of NABS.



North Carolina



The North Carolina Association of Blind Students will be hosting its fourth
annual student seminar on St. Patrick?s Day, Saturday, March 17, 2012.  We
are quite proud of our exhibit hall; last year, it had 28 exhibits.  Our
event caught the attention of the North Carolina Conference on Visual
Impairment and Blindness, a professional conference for those who serve the
blind in North Carolina.  They contacted us, and we agreed to share the
campus with them for the seminar so that we could share the exhibit hall and
lunch.  To help fund the event, we have opened a formal sponsorship program.
There is no residency requirement, and everyone from everywhere is invited.
Our flyer is being distributed widely.  For more information, visit
www.ncabs.org <http://www.ncabs.org/> , or see the flyer that is attached to
this email.

{Gary please send to all lists affected}
If you plan to pay for state convention with cash or check please send check

or money order with the print registration form to the state Treasurer as we

are still experiencing database problems. If you already filled out the 
on-line form stating you would pay by cash or check you will need to go 
ahead and send the print form as well.
If you wish to pay using credit or debit card go ahead and use the online 
forms as we will have a record through pay pal of your transaction. It is a 
good idea, as with all on-line transactions to printout your transaction 
receipt.
The pre-registration deadline is March 15, 2012.
Thanks for your cooperation in this matter. I am not sorry we are trying 
this at all but I am sorry it hasn't gone smoother.
Gene Coulter, Convention Coordinator
NFB of Missouri
