[nabs-l] 2011 NFB of Massachusetts State Convention Program

[Mark J. Cadigan]

Please forward to interested parties. I highly recommend all blind students 
attend the NFB of Massachusetts State Convention

The 58th annual convention of the National Federation of the Blind of 
Massachusetts will take place Friday March 25th - Sunday March 27th, 2011, 
and this will be great year for the Student Division!  The convention 
provides a wonderful opportunity to network with blind students and 
professionals from all over the state.

There will be two important gatherings of the Massachusetts Association of 
Blind Students (MassABS).  Our Division meeting will be on Friday evening, 
and we will have a luncheon meeting on Saturday.

Join us for enlightening speakers, informational sessions, and the 
opportunity to participate in elections of a new MassABS board as we shape 
our goals and policies for the upcoming year!   Try to attend the entire 
weekend, but if you can only make it for part of the time, plan to attend 
the MassABS meetings on Friday night and Saturday lunch.

The Massachusetts Association of Blind Students provides a setting where 
blind students can come together through meetings and social events. MassABS 
is open to all Massachusetts students (at any educational level) including 
non-traditional students. MassABS also provides information for any person 
who is interested in resources and techniques utilized by Massachusetts 
students even if they are not blind, not a member of the NFB, etc..

MassABS also sponsors an email list (open to both members and non-members), 
which allows the Massachusetts Association of Blind Students to communicate 
between meetings.  This list is used to post events, announcements, 
fundraisers, and more.   Most importantly, the list will be used to help the 
students of Massachusetts to network, discuss, solve, and discover new 
methods to resolve various questions. To join the list please visit 
http://www.nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/massabs_nfbnet.org or, you can look 
up the Massachusetts Association of Blind Students on FaceBook or MassABS on 
twitter.

This year's meeting will be at the DoubleTree Boston - Westborough, a 
perfect venue for our convention, with excellent meeting rooms and 
accommodations with wireless access.

Registration information for the conference, the full conference schedule 
and booking information for the hotel are all attached.

You can stay overnight, but it is not required. If you can't afford a room, 
I can find an attendee that would be willing to have a roommate.
