[MN-at-Large] Pre-Convention Things to Know

[David Andrews]

>
>Fellow federationists,
>It’s almost here! We’ll be gathering in just 
>four days for our Fall convention, and I can’t 
>wait! 
 but I guess I have to. Here are a few 
>notes you’ll want to know as you pack your bags.
>
>
>
>Splish splash!
>
>
>
>You know how you go to convention, and the hotel 
>often has a great pool, but you never have time 
>to swim in it? This year you’ll get that chance 
>because our hospitality event will be a pool 
>party. If you don’t want to swim, there will be 
>plenty of spaces for fun and conversation nearby 
>as well. Either way, we’ll also have snacks 
>available, and we won’t even tell your mom if 
>you swim less than an hour after eating. Just please don’t eat in the pool.
>As you’re packing your suitcase, don’t forget to throw in that swimsuit.
>

>
>Deal me In

>Opposite the student meeting on Friday evening, 
>we’ll be hosting an evening of Braille games and 
>casual conversation. We want to celebrate the 
>fun we can have with Braille, so I encourage you 
>to bring any cards or games you would like to 
>share with your federation friends. I’ve even 
>heard rumors an edition or two of Uno Braille will be available.
>
>
>
>Shake it Up
>
>
>
>As you may know, one of the fun parts of our 
>general sessions is the door prize drawings. We 
>depend on donations from businesses and 
>individuals to ensure we have things to give 
>away. If you have prizes to contribute, you can 
>bring them to the door prize table on Saturday 
>morning. Please place a Braille label on the 
>prize informing our team of what it is. If you 
>need assistance with this, someone at the convention will be able to help you.
>
>
>
>Bake it up
>
>
>
>The bake auction is one of our largest 
>fundraisers, and we need your culinary expertise 
>to make it a success. Please bring your bake 
>auction items to the bake auction table on 
>Saturday morning, and as with the door prizes, 
>Braille labels are a must. We would also 
>appreciate notification of any major allergens 
>your items contain, such as nuts. Next stop: Tastyville.
>
>
>
>Resumé – Ooh La La
>
>
>
>One of the components of the skills fair we will 
>be hosting this year will be the opportunity to 
>have your resumés and cover letters proofread 
>and polished. If you are interested in sharing 
>either or both of these with our team of 
>experts, please bring them on your computer or 
>on a thumb drive. It may be possible to email 
>them, but given the fickle nature of hotel 
>wi-fi, a physical medium is preferable.
>
>If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate 
>to reach out. I am eagerly looking forward to 
>spending time with all of you in just a few days.
>Warmly,
>Ryan
