$130.00 per night. Be sure to make your reservations by March 19 at 208

Our convention theme is Security, Equality, Opportunity. 

This convention will feature new special events, including aerobic dance and
bocci ball provided by the Northwest Association for Blind Athletes and
birding by ear directed by our own Al Schneider and other local birders. We
will have a vendor expo featuring technology and other interesting exhibits.
Speakers will present on topics including progress toward private and
independent mail-in voting in Idaho, drug safety and labeling, changes to
the Able Act, updates from agencies serving the blind in Idaho, and
presentations from our members on travel, guide dog schools, and other
inspirational topics. Friday night will feature live music from our own
Justin Bonner and his band The Blend, as well as our fundraising auction and
gift baskets. We are planning a luncheon for students and young adults, and
a meeting for parents of blind children.  The convention will conclude with
our banquet, featuring Sheila Wright, as our national board member, and our
2023 scholarship class. 

If you want to have a good time while you learn and grow in our Federation,
come join us at the Riverside Hotel on April 27-29. There is something for
everyone.
