This was not an easy decision, but it was one that we’ve been talking about for years in order to make the event more rewarding and less hectic in terms of scheduling and being able to provide a more affordable option for travel since so many of our members would have to travel during the busy holiday season as well as deal with the conflicts of family and school schedules around the end of year holiday season.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">There will be more information about our convention over the next month and if you are interested in being part of our convention committee please contact myself or our convention committee chair immediate past president Terri Rupp.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">I also want to shed light on the outstanding efforts each of our chapters are making in preparing for next month’s Blind Equality and Achievement Month. We have white cane walks and events scheduled for October 15<sup>th in all three chapters and many formal proclamations being finalized for presentation by city, County and state level boards and leaders. It’s no secret that the strength of our movement relies heavily on the chapters, and the leaders and members of which they are made, and I especially want to thank each of you who are contributing your time and talents to improving and fighting for the rights of the blind in the Silver State.<o:p></o:p></sup></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">At the bottom of this message is a link to my calendar and I encourage any of you who want to talk about our affiliate your chapter or even your role in our movement to make an appointment with me As we are never short of need in help with our activities and planning. After all, we often may walk alone, but to get anywhere we have to march together.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Yours in the movement</p></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span class="DefaultFontHxMailStyle"> </span></p></div></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><i>Mark Tadder, </i></span><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-size: 17pt;">President </span><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">National Federation of the Blind of Nevada</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 17pt; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 17pt; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Click </span><b style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> below to book an appointment with me</b></div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div></div><div><a href="https://calendly.com/mtadder/office-hours" style="caret-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><font color="#ffffff">https://calendly.com/mtadder/office-hours </font></a><span style="font-size: 17pt; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">”</span><span style="font-size: 17pt; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Live the life you want”</span></div></div></body></html>
