<p class="MsoNormal">The National Federation of the Blind of Iowa would like to invite you to attend our 2024 State Convention October 18-20 in Urbandale Iowa, a suburb of Des Moines. While attending your own state convention ought to be the priority, I know
from personal experience that attending the conventions of other states can be both fun and informative.<o:p></o:p></p>

including technology vendors.<o:p></o:p></p>
