so it's pretty far back in the convention hall. The only assistive listening devices I have is a Bluetooth Mike. That room I believe is way too big to even remotely consider using this since the Bluetooth range is only 33 feet. And unfortunately I don't think my hearing aids will be compatible with any assistive listening devices available at convention. So I think that this brings all of this to a close.

If anyone wishes to write me to clarify all of us please write me with the subject line my convention question. Unfortunately I get a lot of email and my personal email box. So I tend to look down at subject lines to see which ones need my attention first. Also I might add that the deadline that the state agency for the blind and I have set on making the final decision whether to do this unfortunately due to the registration an interpreter request deadline must be Thursday. I know that this is extremely short notice. But I'm hoping that everyone can put their thinking caps together and help if it's justified. Also I am not asking for free ride. And my calculations I have stated that I wish to pay somewhere between 150 and $200. I don't believe any client of any agency or anyone in the NFB sort of a scholarship winner should be given an absolute free ride ever. One must be invested in someway and one's own future. Or the future probably is he isn't worth the time stress and trouble. In other words one must be invested in one's future work to be remotely successful. Thank you all for reading this post. Good morning friends, I have some questions about the seminar to be held at the convention? Three why masking is I've been asked to justify this to my counselor who might end of the strong emphasis here might feel that it would be a proper use of funds to send me to convention if the justification is appropriate.

My questions ours follows my first question is I'm reading in the announcements something about tactile sign language mentoring? Does the mentors just for the seminar or they going to hang around after the seminar and periodically help people work on their signing during the week?
Two is this workshop also going to discuss in depth in that SSP's monotheist when are they not used and when do you begin to think you might need one and when do you come to the conclusion that you definitely do not need one? The reason why masking this is currently my institution of higher education also my workplace has gotten this idea that I might need Aniston in SSP. I have received extensive travel on the campus. However there are ongoing construction projects. Hold of construction workers have become quite courteous by turning off their equipment when it's clearly obvious obvious I'm walking close to their work area.

Other events that if you have friends who can help on the justification for convention week that would be helpful are either going to be another job seminar this year? And because that is true and they're going to do what they done in the past that it's another justification point. Given the extreme cost of convention.

Also the discussion about signing and the fact that I am learning sign language my not so justify me asking for a tactile interpreter because Washington if memory serves me right
