[Nfb-krafters-korner] ot: thank you all!

[Blindhands at aol.com]

Yes,   I do remember my first National NFB Convention and I, too  felt all 
alone and that everyone knew everyone else.  I did not go back the  
following year to the convention and I did not know if I would go back.  I  got 
involved in my state the following year and learned so much from other blind  
folks in my state that were part of the NFB.    Without the  friends that I 
have met that are blind I would never have been able to do what I  have done 
so far in the last 16 years living with total darkness.
 
Each day I learn something new and hope to share it with someone like  you.
 
National Convention is such a networking place and an opportunity to get so 
 many questions answered and you are in the majority.  If you want to go to 
 convention and need a friend to hang with, be sure you come 1 day early 
and I  will get together and introduce you to some of the Krafters Korner 
folks or just  come and sit at our table in the exhibit hall and chat about 
Krafters  Korner.
 
In 15 years I have missed 2 Conventions.  One was the year after my  first 
and I stayed home.  The other was in 2011 when my Grandson was born  the 
week of convention.    I look forward to Conventions, but  they are a lot of 
work especially for me and others.

This and  other listserves make me want to go to the convention.  I 
actually  
know people and want to meet them!  The one time I went I felt very  alone. 
Everyone else seemed to know each other and didn't try to meet new  people. 
I didn't feel welcomed at all.  I am thankful beyond  words!
