This annual event is our opportunity<br>> to meet with our congressional representatives and their staff members<br>> in their Washington offices to discuss issues of great importance to<br>> the blind of America. If you have never been, I highly encourage you<br>> to consider attending as it is an exciting few days where we have a<br>> chance to make a significant impact to our future as blind people.<br>> <br>> The 2014 Washington Seminar will take place from Monday January 27<br>> through Thursday January 30. The Great-Gathering-In, the first meeting<br>> of all those in attendance (our legislative pep rally as it were),<br>> will begin at 5:00 on Monday the 27th. Our legislative appointments<br>> will hopefully all take place on Tuesday, but may take place on<br>> Wednesday depending on the legislator's schedules.<br>> <br>> As in previous years, the Washington Seminar hotel will be the Holiday<br>> Inn Capitol, 550 C ST SW. Room rates are $177 plus a 14.5% sales tax<br>> ($202.67 total) for singles, doubles, triples, and quads. Room<br>> reservations should not be made through the hotel, but should be made<br>> by contacting Lisa Bonderson at (303) 778-1130, extension 219 or by<br>> emailing lbonderson@cocenter.org.<br>> <br>> Again, I highly encourage you to make plans to attend the 2014<br>> Washington Seminar. it is an experience not to be missed.<br>> <br>> Thanks to Tony Olivero from Nebraska for writing the above and <br>> allowing me to steal his words.<br>> <br>> Dave<br>> <br>> <br>> _______________________________________________<br>> Nfbnet-members-list mailing list<br>> Nfbnet-members-list@nfbnet.org<br>> List archives: <http://www.nfbnet.org/pipermail/nfbnet-members-list_nfbnet.org><br></div> </div></body>
