The content, opportunities and presenters included throughout this weekend is a testament to the tireless work that our membership has dedicated toward building the Michigan affiliate and national organization as a whole. We hope to, with the support of our national representative and guests from other affiliates, continue to take strides in empowering blind Michiganders to continue to live the life they want, knowing that blindness is a characteristic that does not define us or our future. It is not too late to be a part of the NFBMI State Convention experience. A copy of this agenda and information about registration can be found at <a href="http://www.nfbmi.org/convention">www.nfbmi.org/convention</a>. The Michigan affiliate is happy to offer virtual options for interested Federationists. I look forward to serving the Michigan affiliate in my first state convention as affiliate president and welcome all helpful feedback.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Respectfully,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Robert Parsons, Jr.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>President, National Federation of the Blind of Michigan<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>(269) 216-8640<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="mailto:President@nfbmi.org">President@nfbmi.org</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="http://www.nfbmi.org">www.nfbmi.org</a><o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
