[Marion Gwizdala via nagdu]

Dear Fellow Federationists:
 
The 2014 National Federation of the Blind National Convention, to be held at
the Rosen Centre July 1-6, is rapidly approaching. If you have not yet
preregistered or reserved your room at the Rosen Centre, we encourage you to
do so as soon as possible. You won't want to miss what is always the largest
and most exciting gathering of blind people in the country! 



On Tuesday, july 1 & Thursday, July 3, the National Association of Guide dog
Users will hold its annual meetings & Seminars. You will not want to miss
the updates, guest speakers, and prizes that will be available at this
year's meetings! Registration will begin at 6:00 p.m. and close at 6:45 p.m.
Our meetings will begin promptly at 7:00 p.m. More information will follow!

 
Rooms at the Rosen Centre are available on a first-come, first-served basis
until our block is filled or until May 28, whichever comes first. After our
block is filled and/or after May 28, the hotel has no obligation to accept
any further reservations. The room block often fills up before the deadline,
which is less than two weeks away! To make a reservation now and ensure you
don't miss out on the special room rates associated with our block, please
call the Rosen Centre at (800) 204-7234.
 
The deadline for preregistration for the national convention is also quickly
approaching - preregistration ends at midnight on May 31. As always, we
encourage you to preregister online ( <http://lx-web.nfb.org/convention>
http://lx-web.nfb.org/convention) and avoid waiting in the long lines at
convention. You will also save some money by preregistering -the
preregistration fee for convention is $25 ($30 on site) and the cost of a
banquet ticket is $55 ($60 on site).
 
Looking forward to seeing you at the Rosen Centre in July
