[nabs-l] The Benefits of attending the National Convention

[roanna bacchus]

Dear Students,

My name is Roanna Bacchus.  Yesterday I spoke with one of the 
volunteers from the Braille Association of Mid Florida who told 
me about the annual conference that is conducted by the Visual 
Aid Volunteers of Florida.  Until this morning I planned to take 
three days next week to attend this conference.  I am thinking 
about completing the certification course to become a certified 
Braille transcriptionist.  This morning I found out that the 
workshop materials for this conference will not be available in 
braille.  Once I discovered this my dad asked me if there are any 
other conventions being held this year in Orlando.  I told him 
that the Nfb's national convention is taking place here in 
Orlando in July.  Since many of you on this list have attended 
the conventions each year, I have a question for you.  What are 
the benefits of attending the Nfb national convention? Hope to 
hear from you soon.
