> Yes, it is that time of year again! Time for an epic east coast snow storm? Time for the beloved Green Bay Packers to make a heartbreaking exit from the NFL playoffs? Well, yes. But, no! It is time for the blind of the nation to converge on Capitol Hill to bring our message of equality and opportunity for the blind to our elected officials in Washington! We are very excited to have a strong student turnout this year, and I wanted to drop a quick line to let you know what NABS will be up to!

> First, if you’ll be in Washington, I hope you’re planning to attend NABS’ annual winter seminar. We will be running from 9:00am to 12:30pm on Monday, January 25. We have lined up excellent presentations on the legal landscape for blind students and using apps for productivity. We’ve got breakout sessions on technology, advocacy, campus involvement, finding jobs, NFB philosophy, and more. And you’ll have the chance to get some hot tips on effective legislative advocacy and, oh yeah, to hear from our President, Mr. Mark Riccobono. Sounds awesome, right? So come on out! And if you do, do me a huge favor, and preregister at this link:

> It’ll save both you and us a ton of time, and we will be oh so grateful!

> Second, I have to ask. Do you like delectable desserts? Live music? To enjoy a cocktail or two while chatting with Federation friends old and new? If you said “yes,” I have fabulous news for you! NABS will be holding our annual NABS Café fundraiser from 8pm to midnight on Tuesday, January 26. Buy a wristband from any member of the NABS Board for $5 prior to 7pm on Tuesday, or pay $7 at the door. Either way, the cheesecake, chocolate mousse, and other tasty treats will satisfy your sweet tooth and the sweet sounds of Parnell Diggs, Katelyn McIntyre, and other talented Federation musicians will keep you tappin’ your toes. And, as always, Jackie Brown will be helping us auction off some great items, including: Sea World passes; gourmet chocolate, coffee, and wine; Bluetooth speakers; state themed baskets; an AppleTV; and much more! And, who knows, we might even get the band back together for a little bit of Rhythm of the Movement, the songs of the Federation!
>  
> I hope to see many of you in Washington next week.

> Have a fantastic weekend,
