You can also ask Adrijana. She did a lot of research on this last year when
she was a first-timer.

international airfare. My best suggestion would be to send President
Riccobono an email at officeofthepresident at nfb.org. Since the first-timers
programs are run out of the national office, he will know where to direct
you to.

National Convention will be held next year in Las Vegas. I have  a friend
from the UK-United Kigdom that will like to come next year to the
Convention. He is also visually impaired.  My question is, is it possible
for him to come to the Convention as a first timer? Is there any
scholarships that he can apply to be able to come? I'm just wondering since
he is from another country. Who do I contact  in order to ask  this sort  of
question? Just wondering. My friend just would like to come. I'm not so sure
if he can use the NFB rates  as well.  I look forward in hearing from you
soon. Thanks so much!
