ANYWHERE & EVERYWHERE!

WELCOME!

Welcome to the 54th annual convention of the National Federation of the
Blind of Maryland being held anywhere and everywhere.  The COVID-19 pandemic
has altered the ways we ordinarily connect to advance our movement, but it
has not changed the spirit of the Federation.  Extraordinary times call for
extraordinary measures, in addition to love, hope, and determination that
always will transcend distance.  Though the format of this year’s convention
is new for all of us, there still are many of the same opportunities to
learn new things, be inspired by our colleagues, renew Federation family
friendships, and participate in the conversations that raise the
expectations for blind people.  Though apart, we will still build the
Federation together.

Special Information for First-Time Attendees:

All first-time convention attendees are cordially invited to attend a
First-Timers Orientation from 8 to 9:30 p.m., on Wednesday, November 4. The
Ambassadors Committee will walk you through the events that will take place
throughout the weekend, explain processes such as door prizes and voting, as
well as make sure every first-time convention attendee is matched with a
mentor.

In order to be eligible to win door prizes, convention attendees must have

name is called for a door prize, that individual must let the Door Prize
Committee know within two minutes that the individual is present.  Winners

410-261-4550.  Winners must give the code word when calling the Virtual
Information Table or sending emails.  They also may be asked to give the
code word if using Zoom via telephone so the committee can verify the
identities of those whose names do not appear in Zoom.  The code word will
be announced when the door prizes are drawn.

PRE-AUTHORIZED CONTRIBUTION PROGRAM 

We encourage all convention participants to join the NFB Pre-Authorized
Contribution (PAC) Program.  This program raises funds for the National
Federation of the Blind by automatically debiting your checking account or
charging your credit card the specified monthly amount you designate.
Individuals are encouraged to enroll in the PAC Program, or if already
enrolled, raise their monthly contributions.  NFBMD will enter into a
drawing any individual from Maryland who, during the 2020 State Convention,
enrolls in the PAC Program or raises their monthly contributions.  The
winner of the drawing will receive lodging at the 2021 NFBMD annual
convention.

NFBMD will not take financial and banking information this year.  Instead,
we will assist in completing the online PAC form for those who would like
assistance.  The form is located at NFB.org/PAC <https://www.nfb.org/pac> .
Individuals may call the NFBMD PAC Hotline at 410-618-4151 during the
convention for assistance in completing the form.  Individuals who complete
the form themselves should send a copy of the email confirmation they
receive to PAC at nfbmd.org <mailto:PAC at nfbmd.org>  in order to be entered into
the drawing.  The National Center staff will contact individuals for
financial and banking information following the convention.  Individuals who
complete the form but do not actually enroll in or increase their
contributions to the PAC Plan will be determined ineligible for the drawing
prize.

The Convention Host Committee is finalizing plans for virtual tours.  Visit
NFBMD.org/Convention <http://nfbmd.org/convention>  for the most up-to-date

Our Credo

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future.  Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams.  You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back!

The National Federation of the Blind Pledge

I pledge to participate actively in the efforts of the National Federation
of the Blind to achieve equality, opportunity, and security for the blind;
to support the policies and programs of the federation; and to abide by its
constitution.

About the National Federation of the Blind of Maryland

we have the power, influence, diversity and determination to help transform
our dreams into reality.  Our members work together for a brighter tomorrow
by raising the expectations for blind people everywhere so that blind
persons can live the lives they want.

Who We Are

The National Federation of the Blind of Maryland is a 501c(3) nonprofit made
up of blind people of all ages, and their families and friends.  Our strong

people adjust to vision loss and promote the full participation and
integration of blind people in our communities.  We bring our collective
experiences together to effect change at the state and national level.

LIVE THE LIFE YOU WANT

Lyrics copied from October 2015 Presidential Release

Chorus:  Live the life you want. Nobody can stop you.
Shoot for the sun and break on through. 

So you're blind. You'll be fine. We've got good news!
You can live the life you want. Yes, we know the truth.

Grab a cane, get trained, gotta get movin'.
Make a change in the wage, that's what we're doin'.
Come with me, yeah

Chorus

You and me, NFB, let's dream together.
NFB, you and me, lives on forever.
You will see yeah

Chorus

You can live the life you want. You’ll know the truth.

Vanda Pharmaceuticals Advertisement: Vanda Pharmaceuticals is dedicated to
raising awareness of Non-24-Hour Sleep-Wake Disorder (Non-24) and supporting
the blindness community. Non-24 is a rare circadian rhythm disorder
affecting up to 70% of people who are totally blind. People living with
Non-24 experience excessive daytime sleepiness and nighttime sleeplessness,
which leads to impaired social and occupational functioning. This is due to
the misalignment between the internal master body clock and the 24-hour day.

STRIVE 

Lyrics by Barbara Elliott

Sometimes people tell me blind people should be quiet and sit down
But I say "No!" I say "No!" I say "No."
They contend that I should be content to let others lead me around,
But I say "No!" I say "No!" I say "No."
Everybody needs somebody to help sometimes, but I'm in charge of me,

CHORUS: I've gotta strive, strive, strive a little farther,
Reach, reach, reach a little longer,
Work, work, work a little harder,
Hope, hope, hope a little stronger.
Watch me, watch me, watch me.
Nothin's gonna stop me, stop me, stop me.

I'm spreading my wings, soaring on a dream,
I can do anything!

I gotta be brave even when I'm afraid to do hard things.
I'll tell myself "Go!" I'll just go, I will go.
I'm not a fool; I need training and tools to live out my dreams.
So I'll say "Go!" I'll just go, I will go.
I'm not a passenger in my life. I'm gonna take control and drive.

Chorus

Pronouns: she, her, hers

The National Federation of the Blind of Maryland knows that blindness is not
the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.
