[Ncabs] NFB National Convention

[Salisbury, Justin Mark]

I, personally, am interested.  

What I would like to note to April is that it seems like there is another parent who comes on the scene every year, but they don't seem to stay long.  I think they might just feel alone and leave because of it, but if you get started and wait, it won't take long before more parents come on the scene.  Outreach is key.  

I also want to tell you all that there were 3 North Carolina high school students who attended the NFB Youth Slam in Baltimore this summer.  I am inviting them all to come and bring their parents to the state convention.  There were many other high school students who attended our student seminar.  They might come and bring their parents, as well.  

It is very possible.

April:

Well, have you gotten over the Orlando trip yet?  I did not get back home to
Asheville until July 28.  I was in Raleigh doing the Braille Camp called
BELL.

We keep trying to get our Parents of Blind Children Division going again to
no avail.  So, I am always on the look out for folks who might be interested
in getting involved.

I am wondering if you all might be interested in being involved?

Best!

Hi Justin,



I saw your post on the NCABS listserv about compiling a list of NC attendees
for the NFB National Convention for Gary Ray.  I wasn't sure if you were
only looking for specific attendees, but I thought I would pass along my
information anyway.



I am the parent of a 10 year old blind son, Spencer, who attends public
school in Wake County.  We are attending the convention in July as a family.
Here is our information about who is attending:



- Spencer Houck, 10 years old in fourth grade at Durant Road Elementary
School in Raleigh, NC and is enrolled in their Visually Impaired program
there.

- April Houck, mother

- Allen Houck, father

- Avery Houck, 8 year old sister of Spencer



Let me know if you need any additional information.



Thank you,



April Houck
