THE NATIONAL FEDERATION OF THE BLIND OF OREGON will be holding our annual 2012 STATE CONVENTION on October 26th, 27th and 28th.  

This year’s event will be held at the Hilton Garden Inn, in Springfield Oregon.  The hotel is located at 3530 Gateway Street, Springfield OR 97477.

We have arranged a $75.00 room rate for singles, doubles and triples, with the current room tax at 10.5%.  Time is getting short for the registrations to be in, so please call or email me at 503-585-4318 or artds55 at comcast.net by October 14th at the very latest to let me know if you will be willingly to share a room or would like to be in a room by yourself.  As in the past, I will be making all room reservations for you, and you will be responsible for your rooms on arrival at the hotel. 

Please let me know if you are interested in the affiliate chartering a bus from Portland and Salem.  The cost will be determined by participation.

The registration and meal package for the convention is $70.00.  This will include lunch on Saturday, the banquet Saturday night and breakfast on Sunday morning.  Dinner on Friday night and breakfast on Saturday morning is on your own.  The hotel offers a breakfast and dinner menu.   

This year’s National Representative will be NFB board member and attorney, Parnell Diggs, from South Carolina.  

This year’s agenda will begin on Friday afternoon with a parent of blind children/teachers seminar from 1 to 4 PM and a division development seminar from 3 to 5 PM.  Our annual auction with entertainment will be Friday night; our general session with several guest speakers on Saturday and we will conclude the convention with a business meeting on Sunday October 28th.   

I hope to see all of you there!

Thank you,

Art Stevenson, NFBO President
