Hello Dear Federation Friends and Family:



Below you will find a letter from our state secretary with state convention
details.  I hope that you all can make it to Nashville.  I expect there
will again this year be many new faces and new people to meet.  Since last
year’s convention, we have started new chapters in Johnson City and
Clarksville as well as a new Guide dog division, so whether you are a
member of the Parent’s of Blind Children Division, a blind merchant, or
would like to get involved with an older blind division, there should be
something for just about everyone!



Almost all of the committee chairs will be new this year, and there will be
a sign up sheet in the back of the general session room so people can sign
up for the committees they would like to serve on.  Also, get positive
updates on the  right to parent custody bill we passed last year and the
new TEACH TN bill we introduced in the TN house and senate this week.  I
can’t wait for Angela Fredrick to tell you all about the Parenting Without
Sight Training that will take place March 7.  Almost every Department of
Children Services Worker will be trained  on the extraordinary abilities of
blind parents while the NFB of Tennessee will serve as a vital resource to
DCS when the department needs advice on how to relate to a blind parent.



Please read Sharon’s convention details below.  I can’t wait to see you at
convention and don’t forget to reserve your rooms by February 11.



Your NFBTN President, James Brown
