Hello all, just wanted to ask if anyone has any hotkeys to audacity because I don’t know if it’s just me not knowing, but I am having so much trouble editing my materials. I would appreciate any help anyone can give as I am needing to edit my podcast for my podcasting class. Thank you all.

Hi! I personally prefer reaper. It does have a learning curve and it will cost you 60 bucks. However, it does a lot more in the end. If you would like access to some good assistive technology teachers that can train you feel free to write me back. My email address is: thflute at gmail.com
Oh, and I know a good assistive technology teacher that that specializes in reaper and I know a good assistive technology trainer that specializes in audacity. Personally, I find that I need a little bit of help to get me going on these programs. Good luck!
Tara

 Walk-A-Thon

Happy May, NABSters!



We hope this message finds each and every one of you crushing the end of
your semesters. With final exams, papers, and presentations looming, it’s
easy to prioritize anything and everything above your health, so we’re
thrilled to give you the opportunity of a lifetime! (Or at the very least,
the opportunity of a month…)



Starting today (May 1,) you can register to participate in the 5th Annual
NABS Walk-A-Thon, taking place this year on Thursday, July 8th from
wherever you are.



This fundraiser is not only an amazing opportunity for NABS, but also a
great excuse to get out and move! See below for more information.



By visiting the link below, you can register to participate in our event
and begin collecting pledges. It’s as simple as registering to participate,
sharing your personalized link, and walking! Between now and July 8th, you
can ask your friends and family (or strangers on the street if you prefer)
to pledge funds toward your campaign, the proceeds of which benefit blind
students across the nation in more ways than we can count… Granting
scholarships for students to attend Washington seminar, providing
interpretation services at our regional seminars, and hosting stellar
events, guest speakers, and more just to name a few.



On the day of our event, you’ll track your steps and send your final step
count/distance walked to NABS Treasurer, Elizabeth Rouse, and the rest is
up to us!



So, are you ready to get in the game? Register here
<https://go.rallyup.com/9cebd4>!



Did we mention that there’s a prize for the individual who collects the
most funds for NABS?!?



Still have questions? Reach out to Elizabeth Rouse at
elizabethrouse.nfb at gmail.com.



Thanks for your participation, and let’s get walking!

Elizabeth

Hello Jason,
There is an access list for blind and partially sighted users of
Audacity. If you visit:
www.freelists.org
and look for Audacity4blind
you'll be able to subscribe and ask detailed questions about how it
works with whichever speech program you use, navigating the computer,
as well as how to edit audio with it.

Very best wishes,
Sandra.

Hi All, 

 

The National Federation of the Blind of SC would like to invite everyone to
movie night on Friday, May 7, 2021, at 8:00 PM eastern! We are showing the
movie "Radio" and it is audio described. So bring your favorite snacks and
drinks and join us! 

 

Radio is a good human-interest story that was inspired by events in 1976 in
Anderson, South Carolina. Cuba Gooding, Jr., who plays the mentally
challenged Radio, does such a good acting job, you will believe he is the
real Radio. His real name is James Robert Kennedy, and he was nicknamed
Radio, because of his radio collection and listening to the radio all the
time. Radio spends his days in this small town pushing or riding a grocery
cart down the street, talking to no one. After some football players harass
Radio, the football coach Harold Jones played by Ed Harris takes Radio under
his wing. Radio begins to help out at football practice and sits on the
bench at games. In time, Radio begins to trust the coach. However, some
people in town think Radio is a distraction to the team, and they want Radio
to go. By this time the coach and the team are all friends to Radio and they
want him to stay. Douglas Young (the-movie-guy)

his wing. Radio begins to help out at football practice and sits on the
bench at games. In time, Radio begins to trust the coach. However, some
people in town think Radio is a distraction to the team, and they want Radio
to go. By this time the coach and the team are all friends to Radio and they
want him to stay. Douglas Young (the-movie-guy)

The National Federation of the Blind of SC will be having our sixty-fifth
NFB of SC state convention August 20-22, 2021 at the North Charleston
Marriott, 4770 Goer Drive, North Charleston, SC, 29406. It is time for all
of us to begin making our reservations and registering for our hybrid
convention. You may contact the hotel directly at 843-747-1900 and let them
know you are registering for the NFB of SC state convention to receive the
discounted rates.

Room rates are as follows:

Singles and doubles, $115.00 per night.

Triples, $125.00 per night.

Quads, $135.00 per night.

You will also need to add sales tax which currently is 14%.

The NFB of SC block of rooms at the above rates will be good until July 29,
2021 until 5:00 PM Eastern time. After that date, the hotel will release the
rooms to the general public and we will not be guaranteed our group rate.

The NFB of SC board voted on Thursday, April 22, 2021 on the following rates
for convention registration. The prices include reception on Friday night,
boxed breakfast Saturday and Sunday, and banquet Saturday night. There will
not be a luncheon on Saturday afternoon.

Adults, $85.00 per person until July 15; $100.00 after this date.

In order to have a hybrid event so that as many individuals can attend as
possible, we are charging a small registration fee for virtual attendance to
cover the cost of broadcasting from the Marriott; the hotel charges the NFB
of SC around $1,000 for audiovisual equipment and broadcasting.

If you plan to vote in this year's election for the NFB of SC, you will need
to be a member of the NFB of SC in good standing as of June 30, 2021 by
11:59 PM Eastern Standard time. 

You may register online and submit payment through Pay Pal. Registration
will not be confirmed until payment has been received through the mail or
Pay Pal. If using Pay Pal, please remember to add 3% to your total to cover
Pay Pal's administration fees and so that NFB of SC receives the entire
amount.

Sixty-Fifth state convention!

Hi everyone,
I am doing a Masters of social work right now, but I am taking an elective that starts tomorrow about children’s play. One of the things we are doing is interactive play, for one hour each class, which we I have to reflect on afterwards. The class is using two software‘s which are not accessible. It it’s supposed to be like a sandbox type environment for play or something. There are other people who might do something different, but not sure what. Was wondering if anyone who is blind, I only have light perception, has ever engaged in such a course and if so, what are used to play.  I don’t think I want to use actual tangible objects. Software would be interesting  The softwares they are using are vcvrak and minecraft   I have asked   about the possibility if using an iPhone game, but not sure which one I would use, I’m waiting to hear about that. 
Thanks,Amanda

Hey NABS Fam!

> The fundraising committee cannot begin to explain how grateful we are to students that are consistently supporting the great work that we do to financially back the programs we provide. Your diligence, reliability, and creativity over the past year has made my experience as fundraising chair an honor. Over the past few weeks, our committee has been hard  at work procuring needed connections and items to be successful in our fundraising efforts at national convention in July. Our “NABS Nuggets” cookbook is off to a phenomenal start, with 10 original recipe submissions from various blind students around the country already received.
> 
> Our division received a foldable, wireless, Bluetooth capable keyboard as a donation and NABS ran a promo to award this donation to the student that submitted the tenth recipe for our cookbook. I am happy to award this keyboard to Rachel Pavone, the president of the Michigan Association of Blind Students. Everyone please congratulate or thank  Rachel for her commitment to building the Federation and its most lively division.
> 
> It’s not too late to contribute to our diverse and inclusive cookbook! If you have some time and a few minutes, use the link below to submit a recipe and help make this collection a best seller and your stomach’s favorite item on your bookshelf or computer. NABS will be running a second cookbook promo where the student that submits the 20th recipe to our collection will receive a free electronic copy of the cookbook at our national convention this July. Remember, you can submit more than one recipe and we are open to any types for any kind of cuisine. Add your special spice or flavoring and show us how you rock them pots!

I will first have to ask you this question, are you using an iPhone or an iPad with Google Docs? Personally, if you have a Mac it works better with Google Docs, and even then I still don’t like it. Personally if possible, if I really have to use Google Docs at all for any of my work, school or otherwise, I prefer much more to use Jaws hands down, it’s easier for me and in my opinion. I know some people might disagree with me and that’s ok. I just wanted to give some input. Also, if you’re just trying to peruse through a file or any other document, using drive does actually work and there are many methods to work with it, but if you’re trying to write and edit documents, I prefer using NVDA or Jaws with it. Sorry for all the rambling, but I hope this helps and would be happy to answer any questions you have.

It will announce selection deleted. I spoke to Google about this and they told me that they know about that issue and have looked into fixing it. The Google Drive app though has had a bug in it lately so you have to click on a folder and than click back to sometimes fix the issue. Or you could wait a few minutes for the app to refresh and than it will work properly. I hope this information is helpful.

Dear Students,

We are looking for people who have either attended NABS in-person events or plan to attend in the future for a 15-minute feedback session. Specifically, we are seeking to discuss roommates and room sharing at NABS in-person events. The sessions will be completed via Zoom and shouldn't take longer than 30 minutes. They will be one-on-one with one of the chairs of the NABS Diversity and Inclusion committee.

As a thank you for talking with us, all students who meet with us will be entered into a drawing for a $25 Amazon gift card.

To book a session, please use the following link:

Warmly,
Monica Qualik and Sara

Hey folks,

Now that my non-NFB election is over, I have time to breathe, and to
write another quick email. I just realized how reality-show-esque this
email subject sounds, but let's stick with it anyway.

We have a study night on Saturday, 7:00-8:00 PM Pacific. Come join us
at tinyurl.com/cabsconnect

But what's a study session without a perfect playlist? We need your
help to get to that perfection. Feel free to contribute to our Spotify
playlist here:

Email with questions/comments/concerns. Thanks.

Hi all,

I've solidified (to an extent) what I'd like to do for the project. It
will be a presentation to my class on the concept of race-blindness,
and the role that race plays in the NFB. My goal is to come up with a
series of recommendations for the NFB, or ideas for future research
within the organization that will lead to those recommendations. While
the Code of Conduct has sparked discussion regarding sexual assault
and misconduct, we have not spoken nearly as extensively about racism.
The NFB and its members (including myself) are not exempted from
racism by any means. This project does not aim to be an exposé, but I
hope that it will be influential and thought-provoking. Of course, if
it really is the thought of the majority that the NFB is a
blindness-advocacy organization first and foremost, and that race
should play a very minimal role in our work, I want to know that as
well.

For this reason, I would like to have conversations with people who
are members, student leaders, and anyone else who might be interested.
It doesn't matter what side of the political spectrum you're on, or
what race or gender etc. you are. Let me know if you're interested.
Thanks, and I'm looking forward to some great conversations.

Best,
Cricket

Subject: [NABS-L] Movie Night!!!!
Message-ID: <08f901d742be$accd8ad0$0668a070$@gmail.com>

Hi All, 

The National Federation of the Blind of SC would like to invite everyone to movie night on Friday, May 7, 2021, at 8:00 PM eastern! We are showing the movie “Radio” and it is audio described. So bring your favorite snacks and drinks and join us! 

Radio is a good human-interest story that was inspired by events in 1976 in Anderson, South Carolina. Cuba Gooding, Jr., who plays the mentally challenged Radio, does such a good acting job, you will believe he is the real Radio. His real name is James Robert Kennedy, and he was nicknamed Radio, because of his radio collection and listening to the radio all the time. Radio spends his days in this small town pushing or riding a grocery cart down the street, talking to no one. After some football players harass Radio, the football coach Harold Jones played by Ed Harris takes Radio under his wing. Radio begins to help out at football practice and sits on the bench at games. In time, Radio begins to trust the coach. However, some people in town think Radio is a distraction to the team, and they want Radio to go. By this time the coach and the team are all friends to Radio and they want him to stay. Douglas Young (the-movie-guy)

Announcing the First Touching The News Poll

Photo Caption: A cross-section of a swell paper tactile graphic of the shipping route through Suez Canal



Last month, we announced the launch of Touching The News<https://lighthouse-sf.org/2021/04/21/lighthouse-introduces-touching-the-news/>, a new and free service from LightHouse. This service allows people who are blind or have low vision to access visual elements of news and culture by allowing them to download a tactile graphic.

Every two weeks you can vote in a poll on which tactile graphic you’d like to enjoy next. The following week, we will send you a link to the files of the most voted on graphic so you can print it at home. You can either print on swell (capsule) paper, and raise the print by using a PIAF, Zychem or Swell Form machine. The tactile graphic can also be embossed on ViewPlus Columbia, ViewPlus Delta, APH PixBlaster, IRIE BrailleTrac, and IRIE BrailleSheet.

Now it’s time to vote on the very first Touching The News Graphic. Here are this first week’s choices...

The Tactile Graphic for next week should be:

  *   What does the Oscar statue look like?
  *   What was that secret code on the Perseverance Parachute?
  *   What does the Rolling on the Floor Laughing Face (ROFL) emoji look like?
Voting is open now and closes on Monday, May 10 at 3:00 pm Pacific.

To vote, visit the Touching The News poll page.<https://lighthouse-sf.org/ttn-poll/> Want to find out which graphic won and be able to download it? Subscribe to the Touching the News email list.<https://lighthouse-sf.org/ttn-signup/>

> Take advantage of a free summer program to grow your spatial thinking skills while expanding your knowledge of STEM—and connect you with a group of other blind and low-vision youth and role models. 
> 
> Did you know that high spatial thinking skills are correlated with success in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) in school and careers? Spatial thinking skills are also critical to being a successful traveler. The stronger your spatial thinking skills are, the easier it is to build a mental map and perform all sorts of other tasks that are important to get you where you want to go in the environment or in life!
> 
> From July 5 through July 30, the National Federation of the Blind Engineering Quotient (NFB EQ) program is going virtual. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 3:00-6:00 p.m. eastern time, we’ll be facilitating classes that focus on building spatial thinking skills. Activities will include origami, creative and technical drawing, and building structures out of a variety of materials.
> 
> We will send you everything you need to engage in the classes and, by the end of NFB EQ, you’ll have more physical tools in your toolbox (and more thinking tools in your brain) that you can apply now and in the future.

Attention gremlins and grasshoppers,
Marilyn is back, yes back again. The Maryland student division that is. coming at you with a sliver of Space and time that can’t be minced or diced, can’t be fooled or faked,a slice of cake  just freshly baked. a beam of light unwavering, unyielding, shining forth in a dark world devoid of chill nights and fanciful flights. What I mean to say is that when all is lost and hope is crossed, you know that next Tuesday night at 7 PM some fellow blind students Will be waiting on the edge of our zoom platform to greet you with open arms. To console you with conversation and include you with, uh, inclusion, two share with you the company of human souls that also understand. And with the post this grand, it would be a shame if you didn’t come aboard and visit Mary land.

 Walk-A-Thon!
Message-ID: <CANGwUJO3DEfm3fqTKHVQi0gRGST8wUK=a3jhFeDXwSKk-HA=ow@mail.gmail.com>

Hey, NABSters!



We are thrilled to announce that we are on our way to earning some
fantastic funds with the NABS 5th annual Walk-A-Thon. We already have more
than 5 students registered with 100+ dollars pledged.



But, that could be better! We in NABS always strive to achieve more, don’t
you know?



With that in mind, we invite and encourage you to register today
<https://go.rallyup.com/9cebd4> for our walk-A-Thon, taking place this year
on Thursday, July 8 from wherever you are. This fundraiser is a simple as
register, raise, and walk! Once you get registered for the event using the
link above, your personalized page is automatically generated. Then, you
can ask your friends and family for support until the day of our event.
Remember that in the 21st century, social media can be a powerful tool for
spreading the word. Tell the folks you ask a personal story about how NABS
has impacted your life through a seminar, convention, or opportunity.



And always remember that we cannot provide scholarships, programming, or
NABS representation without funds, so this opportunity can be your way of
giving back.



Not feeling motivated yet? Well, perhaps the prize given to the individual
who raises the most money for NABS will foster your competitive spirit…



Still have questions? Contact NABS Treasurer, Elizabeth Rouse at
elizabethrouse.nfb at gmail.com.



Excited to walk alongside you!

Elizabeth

What's Up Students,

 

My oh my, we are more than midway through May today! You know what that
means NABS? Many of us are finishing up our semesters and wrapping up a
truly eventful year of school. That is why we are pleased to invite you to
join us on Sunday, May 23rd at 9:00 pm Eastern 6:00 pm Pacific for a school
year unwind. 

 

Come celebrate your tremendous school accomplishments while setting goals
for the upcoming months. If you've finished your semester, it will be a
great place to hang out and share your relief, or if you are still smack in
the middle of the finals grind, it will be a great study break. NABS is all
about students supporting students, and this month's membership call will be
fun for all!

Hi all,
I hope everyone is doing well. I just wanted to post about the following event that is taking place tonight. The event is hosted by Club VIBES, a mentorship organization for blind and visually impaired individuals in the East Tennessee area, but this particular event is open to all. I believe that it will be very informative, so check it out if you're interested!
Best,
Campbell

Hello everyone!

I just wanted to remind you about tonight‘s session of the core. The core is a once a month one hour session regarding job readiness for those with visual impairments. Each month, we focus on a topic to benefit those with the intention of employment from those who have visual impairments in the work field. Hear from those with relatable experience. Join us and gain the experience and answers to the questions you have regarding being in the work force.
Tonight, we will be focusing on self advocacy in the workplace. This should be a very informative session and beneficial for you to attend. We hope that you will join us tonight and be a part of this opportunity. Our session begins at 7 PM and will run for an hour. Please bring your listening ear and plenty of questions.

 School Year Unwind
Message-ID: <000b01d74e89$189f2d10$49dd8730$@gmail.com>

What's Up Students,

 

Just wanted to send out a reminder of our membership call this weekend. Many
of us are finishing up our semesters and wrapping up a truly eventful year
of school. That is why we are pleased to invite you to join us on Sunday,
May 23rd at 9:00 pm Eastern 6:00 pm Pacific for a school year unwind. 

 

Come celebrate your tremendous school accomplishments while setting goals
for the upcoming months. If you've finished your semester, it will be a
great place to hang out and share your relief, or if you are still smack in
the middle of the finals grind, it will be a great study break. NABS is all
about students supporting students, and this month's membership call will be
fun for all!

to celebrate, graduation! Last year, we had a NABS Graduation due to many

announce that we will be carrying on the tradition on June 7 at 7:00 PM EST.

 

For our graduates, make sure you fill out this form by June 5 to be
recognized during the call:

Hello Nabs Members,

I hope all of you are doing well. The subject of my email stems from a book that I just finisthed reading. The book is titled "Know My Name" by Chanell Miller. She was the victim in the assault case that took place at Stanford University in 2015. As I read this novel, I was captivated by the actions that were taken by everyone involved in this incident.

Last Demember, I followed the discussion about sexual assuault that took place on the Nfb mailing lists. I was outraged, saddened, shocked, and angry as I read the stories that came out of the Nfb training centers. I am so proud of all of the survivors in the blind community that came forward to share their stories. I am so provd of the National Federation Of The Blind for their willingness to take a stand against this issue. I am happy to so see that President Riccobono is working to prevent sexual assault in in the Nfb for members and non members all across the country. What do you think about the actions that have been taken by the Nfb since these stories came out last Christmas? I would love to hear your thoughts on this topic?

Message-ID: <06dc01d75008$83b47080$8b1d5180$@gmail.com>

Hi All,

I wanted to reach out to get some ideas for marketing our state scholarship
program, that we are going to start in the NFB of Delaware. I've put
together a list of disability office contact for all the colleges in the
state, but wondering if there are any other avenues I need to consider. I
have already passed the national scholarship information to our local
blindness agency, and haven't had much success with applicants, so wondering
if there is something I'm missing?Any help that anyone can give is greatly
appreciated.

Thanks,

Kat Bottner

I have done that through our state blindness agency as that’s where our teachers of the visually impaired are, and I haven’t had as much luck as I’d hoped. So this is why I’m wondering what else I can do besides get information out to disability services of colleges.

What’s Up Students,

 

Just wanted to send out a reminder of our membership call this weekend. Many of us are finishing up our semesters and wrapping up a truly eventful year of school. That is why we are pleased to invite you to join us on Sunday, May 23rd at 9:00 pm Eastern 6:00 pm Pacific for a school year unwind. 

 

Come celebrate your tremendous school accomplishments while setting goals for the upcoming months. If you’ve finished your semester, it will be a great place to hang out and share your relief, or if you are still smack in the middle of the finals grind, it will be a great study break. NABS is all about students supporting students, and this month’s membership call will be fun for all!

Hey everyone,
I hope you're doing well! We've been writing a ton of stuff over the
past two months that you may be curious to read.
Before I get into that though, feel free to join me on Clubhouse
tomorrow, May 28 at 4 PM Eastern for an open chat about Supersense and
Super Lidar. It would be a lot of fun to connect! Here's the link to
the event. You can use this link to join Clubhouse, as well, if you
don't already have it. See you tomorrow!
https://www.clubhouse.com/event/MRDwW2Jz


Now then, onto the reading!
My friend Daisy Russell, soon to be a published author, took time out
of her schedule to write a bit about Instacart. You can read it here:
https://www.supersense.app/post/accessible-shopping-instacart-review
You can also learn more about her book, Wicked Rebellion, and attend
the book launch here: https://m.facebook.com/events/856741008521827

We've been working with a ton of guest writers lately, and this one
specializes in programming as a blind person!

Another of our guest authors wrote this post about an accessible
kitchen, and the instant pot:

We also posted a collection of our accessibility-related posts for
accessibility awareness week!

Finally, I got to sit down with Ellif, a blind psychologist and
professor living in Turkey to share her story:

Hi folks,

I'm writing a policy memo on the Assistive technology Affordability
Act (ATAA, or H.R. 431) for a class on digital civil society. This
memo aims to introduce the bill, and to provide statistics and
research to further prove the necessity of the bill as a solution to
affordability issues. While I am familiar enough with the bill to
discuss it or to make a very passionate and persuasive speech, a
written memo unfortunately requires citations that a speech does not.
Does anyone have some research papers and other sources that I can
read, pull statistics from, and cite? I can share the policy memo
later if desired, assuming that I get a good grade. :)

Also, a few weeks ago, I emailed regarding interviews for a project on
race and ethnicity in the NFB. I have written a petition, which I will
share after I present it to the class next week. Thanks.

Best,
cricket

Hi All, 

 

The National Federation of the Blind of SC would like to invite you to movie
night on Friday, June 4, 2021 at 8:00 PM eastern. So bring your snacks and
drinks to join us for the audio described version of the movie I Can Only
Imagine! 

 

Ten-year-old Bart Millard lives with his mother and abusive father Arthur in
Texas. One day, Bart's mother drops him off at a Christian camp, where Bart
meets Shannon. Upon his return from camp, Bart finds that his mother has
left and movers are removing her belongings. Bart angrily confronts Arthur,
who denies that his abusiveness was the reason she left.

 

Years later, in high school, Bart and Shannon are dating. Bart plays
football to please Arthur, but is injured, breaking both ankles and ending
his career. The only elective with openings is music class, so he
reluctantly signs up. Initially, Bart is assigned to be a sound technician,
but after overhearing him singing, the director casts him in the lead role
in the school production of Oklahoma!. Bart overcomes his reluctance and
gives an impressive performance, but does not tell Arthur, who finds out the
night of the show when he happens to see a flyer for the show in a diner.
Arthur suddenly collapses in pain, and finds out he has cancer, which he
hides from Bart. The following morning, Bart antagonizes Arthur, who smashes
a plate over his head. At church, Shannon sees the blood and presses Bart to
open up, but he responds by breaking up with her, and leaves town to seek
his fortune in the city.

 

Bart joins a band in need of a singer, and convinces Christian music
producer Scott Brickell to manage the band and secure a showcase in
Nashville. Bart surprises Shannon and invites her to tour with the band, and
is confused when Shannon flatly refuses. In Nashville, Brickell introduces
Bart to established artists Amy Grant and Michael W. Smith, but is unable to
convince record executives to sign the band, who do not believe the band,
now performing as "MercyMe", is good enough. Devastated, Bart quits the
band, but Brickell thinks that Bart needs to resolve issues in his personal
life, so Bart reconciles with the band and asks them to wait for him, and
leaves to return home.

 

Bart returns home late at night, and is confused to find that Arthur has
prepared breakfast for him the next morning. Arthur claims to have become a
Christian, but Bart is skeptical and refuses to forgive him, and leaves. In
anger and despair, Arthur smashes his old Jeep, which he had asked Bart to
help him restore. Bart attempts to drive away in Arthur's pickup, but
discovers the terminal cancer diagnosis, and returns to Arthur. Bart
forgives his father, and the two form a deep bond, but Arthur soon dies of
his illness.

 

After Arthur's funeral, Bart rejoins the band and writes "I Can Only
Imagine", and also calls Shannon and apologizes to her for the first time
since their breakup. Brickell sends the demo tape to several artists,
including Grant, who, deeply moved by the song, asks to record it herself as
her next single, and Bart, who just wants the song to be heard, accepts. On
stage, Grant begins the song, but can't bring herself to sing it, and calls
Bart on stage from the audience to sing it himself. Bart's performance earns
an enthusiastic ovation, and he reunites with Shannon, who was also in
attendance. The band releases the song as their first single, achieving
success on both Christian and mainstream radio.

Message-ID: <CA+Ds096hrzN2WVcc+O=iekScfLdndtptZiDGWp3o-CJkDE73eA@mail.gmail.com>

Hello NABS,

I thought I should pass this along. from a mailing list It might be our
only opportunity for those interested in checking out what the ACB is all
about since their convention is virtual this year.


The American Council of Blind Students is happy to announce that we
are offering ten (10) stipends to any student enrolled in an
educational program to attend the 2021 virtual ACB National
Convention. This week-long event is taking place from Friday, July 16
to Friday, July 23.

We recognize that in years past, most students did not have the
opportunity to attend the national convention. However, with the event
being virtual, this is a fantastic way for students to learn more
about the American Council of the Blind and our students affiliate
while participating in advocacy efforts and expanding knowledge on a
wide variety of topics of interest the lives of blind and visually
impaired people.

Registration to the national convention costs $25. If you are selected
to receive a stipend, ACB Students will cover the full cost of
registration in addition to the ACB Students registration fee. (Please
note, if you choose to register for other special interest affiliates,
the cost will not be covered.)

Expectations: students must attend as many ACB Students events as
possible, particularly our business meeting on the evening of Monday,
July 19. Furthermore, we highly encourage students to take advantage
of the excellent event offerings throughout the entire convention
week. In addition, we ask for either a verbal or written report after
the convention to be shared at a post-convention wrap-up or on our
social media channels.

For students under 18, we need a parent or guardian to sign giving
their permission for you to apply for this stipend and attend the
national convention.

Please fill out the below application no later than Sunday, June 20,
2021. We look forward to getting your applications!
