[Massachusetts-NFB] PLEASE READ THIS, if you are attending the National Convention

[sharawinton at gmail.com]

if you are attending the National Convention this summer in Orlando, we are
setting up a table in the exhibit hall. The NFB of Massachusetts exhibit
table is not the same as the Independence market. The independence market is
selling many items that are helpful and fun for blind people, but this is
not our Massachusetts table. Both are in the exhibit hall and will be
basically during the same time. You will need to work at least one shift at
the Massachusetts table. Working at the Independence market is a different
volunteer position;   working for the National Federation of the Blind at
the National level. Many of you volunteered to work at the independence
market and have gotten correspondence from the National office.  You will
need to work out any details about working at the independence market with
the National office  coordinator, Genevieve White.  

Shirley Dorris, is  the NFB of Massachusetts exhibit table coordinator. You
are required to work one shift at this table. The Exhibit Hall will be held
in the Orange County Convention Center <https://www.occc.net/Exhibitor>
West Hall A1, which is just over the sky bridge from the Rosen Centre hotel.
Exhibit hours:

*	Thursday, July 4: 9:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. 
*	Friday, July 5: 9:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. 

Saturday, July 6: noon-1:45 p.m. AND 5:00-9:00 p.m.

You will need to look at the agenda and let Shirley, know  when you will be
available to work at our table. She will do her best to accommodate you,
however you might not get your first choice, so please give her more than
one option. Shirley can be reached at 615-598-5020 or at
Ladyshirl519 at gmail.com <mailto:Ladyshirl519 at gmail.com> .
