[nagdu] convention 2010 ???

[David Andrews]

I have been to both and there is quite a difference.  Besides being 
substantially smaller, one major difference from a NFB national 
convention you will notice right away is that the ACB convention has 
very few young people (teen agers and young adults.)  It is primarily 
an organization of aging people.
