[Nfb-greeley] New Perspective's Expo Date

[Cody Bair]

I am not opposed to weighting until fall  however, I really feel our expo would be very beneficial to the orientation and mobility students as I gave a presentation to there.class last summer and it was made evident to me that they have had very little interaction with or belief in the abilities of blind people   Also other TVIs in the area may be able to attend the event as they won't be teaching   Another reason I am hesitant about weighting until fall is that prior seminars that CABS has held in greeley haven't exactly had the success as far as attendance that we would like.
Regardless of when we do the expo though, I feel it should be a priority of our chapter to reach out to the orientation and mobility students this summer.  
Thanks,
Cody
