Fellow students,

 

                The time is upon us. The National Association of Blind
Students presents our 50th Annual Seminar & Business meeting, taking place
on Tuesday, July 11 in conjunction with the National Federation of the Blind
National Convention in Orlando, Florida.

 

Attached, and pasted below for your convenience, you will find a jam packed
agenda, full of exciting speakers and panelists. I encourage you to read
through our agenda, but more importantly, preregister for this incredible
seminar. Preregistering makes life easier on you, easier on the Board and
those helping with registration, and allows you to stand in a shorter line
during Convention. Doors open at 6pm and the meeting will begin promptly at
7pm. For your enjoyment, we will have music playing in our meeting room for
the hour leading up to the welcoming remarks. Remember, to bring your $5
membership/registration dues, and to snag a door prize ticket. This year, we
have great door prizes, ranging from electronics, to cash prizes, to
delicious sweets, and so much more.

 

Whether you follow us on social media, or will be joining us in Orlando,
please make sure you learn about our 50th anniversary celebrations and
engage in this great organization.
