[Nebraska-senior-blind] Agenda for the May 7-9 Senior Conference in Kearney

[Robert Leslie Newman]

Hi You All

 

Here is a copy of the agenda for the senior conference being put on by
NCBVI. It will be a great couple of days! People will learn a lot about
blindness and resources. Our NFB of Nebraska Senior Division will have a
table and will be handing out information about our division, and the NFB in
general. I know that some of you will be in attendance, and for those of you
who will not be there, those of us who are, will fill you in during our
upcoming May meeting on the 13th.
