So far, we have Dan Wenzel doing tie-tying for the guys. Chivalry is still up in the air, as Jason Ewell’s brother scheduled his bachelor party for that date at the last minute, meaning that Jason will be out of town. Marie Cobb and Mary Fernandez are slated for the girls’ breakout as of now. We’re supposed to be finalizing our agenda tomorrow night on a conference call, but we still need to find a replacement for Jason. Any ideas?

Yes that's what I assumed. Who do you have doing the break out sessions?  .

Miss Trudy,

 

We’re gearing it more toward high school and college students, but all are invited. Just keep in mind that some of the topics discussed in the breakout sessions may be a little “old” for Brandon and some of the younger kids.

Dear fellow Federationists:

 

The Maryland Association of Blind Students (MDABS,) a proud division of the National Federation of the Blind of Maryland (NFBMD) is pleased to announce our first Social Savvy seminar, to be held on April 27, 2013 in Chevy Chase, Maryland. This seminar will focus on ways in which a blind student can enjoy and benefit from social activities. We will also discuss alternative techniques which can be used in social settings. Some topics currently on our agenda include table ettiquet, nonvisual techniques for cooking and going through buffet lines, party planning, dancing and much more. We will also offer breakout sessions for the ladies and the gentlemen which will give participants the opportunity to learn about techniques specific to their gender as well as to discuss topics and issues. Some examples include tie-tying and chivalry for the guys, as well as fashion and makeup for the ladies. There will also be opportunities for participants to connect and network with each other in a fun and supportive setting. All in all, we hope that this seminar will help to increase your “social savvy” as a blind high school or college student.

 

For all information regarding the logistics of this seminar, please see the attached flyer. If you have any questions, please contact Melissa Lomax at mlomax1 at umbc.edu or Chris Nusbaum at dotkid.nusbaum at gmail.com. Please feel free to spread the word to anyone who might be interested in attending. We hope to see many of you at the seminar!

 

Sincerely,

 

The Maryland Association of Blind Students
