All,

We have learned that due to the delays with postal delivery, many
individuals who prefer to register via hard copy form only received their
mailed convention bulletin in the last few weeks though we sent them out in
late August.  As a result, we are extending the pre-registration deadline
through October 22, 2021.  Where possible, please register online or
complete and email back the attached registration forms to expedite
processing, as who knows how long it’ll take the Postal Service to return
completed forms to us.  The link for online registration is below.  The
convention bulletin is also attached.

The National Federation of the Blind of Maryland knows that blindness is
not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise
the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.
