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 in<i>dependence market with the National office coordinator, Genevieve White. <o:p></o:p></i></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:1.0in'><i>Shirley Dorris, is the NFB of Massachusetts exhibit table coordinator.
