[NFB-DB] Fwd: Flyer F2F Conferences 2017-18

[lrroth55 at gmail.com]

My parents weren't big on placing obstacles; but they were unusual.  I can understand it could be a problem, though. I pretty much ignore any of my other family members who try it; easy enough to do, since they're mostly about 1,000 miles away. This flyer does seem to be a little too "family" oriented, in my opinion.  Lydia Roth

>>> Does it bother anyone else that this flyer is so totally directed towards families of DB without even lip service to including DB people and they being involved in directing and leading this kind of activity? I know some family are good allies and some DB people are small children, but the whole tone of this and even the website is not even inclusive of DB people themselves. All directed towards families and professionals. It makes me shudder.
