<div>Marsha,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>If you are on the conference call for the db national the president and or
secretary will announce the information needed for requesting
interpreters. It is usually that you must request interpreters at the time
you pay your registration fee to the NFB national. We were told at the c
call last year that the NFB was not providing SSP's, but some people who had
interpreters were assigned to them for the entire time they were in
Orlando. If you can go to the seminar conference call that you wish to
attend you will know when their seminar is going to be held. The national
office will be able to tell you if you call them and say I wish to attend
X. Your state affiliate should have scheduling also. But there is a
deadline for requesting interpreters. Get your registration in
early. If you have not registered prior to coming the NFB is NOT
required to pay for interpreters who have not been assigned to someone in
advance. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Good luck and enjoy. Cheri</div>

<div>Rox,</div>
<div>Here is my experience thus far, which I admit is limited. at the
washington seminar, I requested interpretors, for both the great gathering and
my meetings with the representatives. But because my state didj't have some of
the appointments until the last minute, getting interpretors didn't happen for
the congressional meetings. Now the NFB did provide me with interpretors for
the great gathering and the reception on tuesday. Both of the interpretors I
used, were awesome. And the nfb took care of that for me.</div>
<div>I have already put my request in for interpretors for the national
convention. Unfortunately because the agenda is not out yet, I can't say which
meetings I will be attending and which I will not. I too am interested in
attending the NAGDU, deafblind and human service meetings. </div>
<div>I understand its very hard to make arrangments, you need to know when the
meetings are, in order to make interpretor requests, and then of course
register for the convention. </div>
<div>That is my experience with interpretors, when I requested SSP's for the
Washington seminar, they would not help me with those costs. </div>
<div>We should put in requests for SSP's. All of us, so that everyone knows
that there is a need, not just for one person, but all of the deafblind who
need to use an SSP. </div>
<div>Just my two cents, </div>
