[Nfb-krafters-korner] Wood Working Table at NFB Convention.

[Powers, Terry (NIH/OD/DEAS) [E]]

La;
You mean no one from your chapter would help you get around?  Have you even asked.  For many years, I helped a lady learn her way around the hotel, how to cope with money and more.  She was a very disoriented lady when we first started.  I helped, but made her learn her own way, to and from the elivator.  Now she rooms with her grand daughter and others, still depending on her grand daughter a lot.  She is still a lot more independent than the first few conventions when I started out with her.  Look at Carol Ceagle, her boy friend or other friends push her around.  I now use a walker, most of the time, at convention, so I can get around.  Just ask around for help and hopefully it will come your way.  Don't be shi.  You have just as much a right to be there as anyone else.  
Hope you can make it next year, if it is to late for this year.

Terry P.

I wish I were going. I can't convince anyone to go with me.
Oh well.

I have a question though: For those who are selling things at convention, are you selling them for personal profit, or is it for a fundraiser for the nfb or whoever?
Just curious. I was thinking I'd sell something if I could get it to someone at the table.

Hi Folks:

I just found out that a few of the guys, well maybe two or three guys, from 
Louis' wood working for the blind group will be taking a table at the 
convention this year and I think selling some of their stuff.  So if you're 
interested in this type of thing, you might want to find them and stop by to 
talk and see what they've made.

Again, if you're interested in wood working their group is located at 
www.ww4b.org
The ww4b group is not an NFB division.
Eileen
