Yes, convention was amazing! I really enjoyed it and meeting all the blind
adoptive parents was wonderful!

Mary Ann, you have been so active on the NAPUB and Krafters lists that I
thought you had convention experience as well.  I certainly took note of you
at the Division meeting, but didn't get a chance to say hello.  Glad you
were there.  There will be plenty to do again next year.  
Ramona

This was my first convention and I thought it was great!  I loved meeting
all of the crafters at the Krafters Korner meeting.  I am not a good teacher
of crafts but I would love to volunteer for the division in other ways.  I
hope to be at convention next year too.
