[nabs-l] Help with the march for independence

[Nijat Worley]

Dear NABS members,
   As you all probably know by now, we will be having yet another of our annual March For Independence this summer at convention in Detroit. I am one of the people that is in charge of recruiting some of our members to be ambassadors to help with the march. Kevan Worley, the chairman of the Imagination Fund, has asked me to get some folks from the students division to help with the march. Now, there is a misconception among lot of folks that students are lazy and that they will never get up early in the morning to go marching. So, that is why we have to prove them wrong by having a strong presence at the March for independence. When the chairman asks where are the students? We need to be able to shout with one strong voice and let our presence known. As we are the present and future leaders of the National Federation of the Blind, we need to be out there and be heard. I also need about 12 volunteers to be ambassadors and help people out of the hotel. We will be marshaling and telling folks where to go so that we can make the process as easy as possible. You all know that moving 1000 people in an orderly fashion can be difficult and that we have to be at different points along the hotel to help make the process go smoothly. We will also have to make sure that we return to the hotel before everyone else so that we can help them get back to the general session. We will have to be down at our posts by 6:15 A.M.  Monday the 6th. Please e-mail me if you want to be an ambassador at the March for Independence. I would appreciate all your help. Let us prove misconceptions wrong by having a strong presence at the March so that we can make ourselves heard. Feel free to e-mail me at nijat1989 at gmail.com
   Thank you very much, and see you all at the march.
   Yours
   Nijat Worley
