Dear Minnesota Federationists:

So that we can give accurate counts to the hotel, please submit your convention preregistration as soon as you possibly can but not later than October 13. Remember that you save $5 on the registration price by preregistering. The online convention preregistration, and the printable version you can use if you prefer to send it by mail, are both at this link: http://www.nfbmn.org/convention.html

If you do not preregister for the convention, please still e-mail jwenzel at blindinc.org or call 612-872-0100 to let us know if you are attending the breakfast, lunch, and banquet.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back
