I am sorry you missed "Live the Life You Want." It was great, too.

Hi Cindy,  I just loved the virtual Choir!  I missed them singing, You Can Live The Life You Want, unfortunately, but, heard the other 2 songs they played at the Banquet!  Especially loved the song, Make Them Hear You!  Can I ask why you decided not to sing in the Choir after all?  Will I be able to access the Convention on the NFB Website or YouTube?   so, I can hear the Presidential Report and I heard the Choir sang Live The Life You Want right after

I'm not Linda, but wasn't that virtual choir amazing? I was going to sing in it and then dropped  out.

Hi, Linda,

And what did you think of the virtual choir?  I loved it.

Thanks Judy,

I loved the whole experience of the virtual Convention, but, I know it's not the same as being there.  I have been to several of my state's, (il.) Conventions!  They are more electrifying when you are with everybody and hear the cheering and all.

I especially loved the beautiful, amazing Banquet speech, our President,  Mark Riccabono gave!  It was powerful!

Linda

Linda!

Welcome and glad you are enjoying your first convention! It certainly will be memorable for you.

My husband and I were saying we feel like we've really been to convention anyway. But the energy at the in-person conventions is electric, addictive, and makes you keep wanting to go back, and helps you remember what brought you to the NFB in the first place.

Hi Carol and all,

What a wonderful Convention it's been so far! And, my first National too! So easy to go from meeting to meeting, but, guess there's not the cheering and fellowship, nevertheless, it's been great!

So glad you beat Covid Carol!

Blessings and stay safe all!

Can't wait for tomorrow's Sessions and Banquet, with all the wonderful speeches and Speakers and Scholarship winners!

Linda

Such a great meeting yesterday! I especially enjoyed the Rocky Bottom retreat reports and the information about the two valuable books, both of which I plan to order. The meeting really fired me up to press on here in Alabama wi! th our Seniors Division's efforts to serve our state's blind seniors. I had been feeling kind of low after battling with my bout of Covid 19 virus, and it is great to be encouraged by all of you once more to press on!

Yes, I loved hearing about the experiences at the Rocky Bottom training. I know several older people I would love to see go to a training like that.

I stayed only an hour. But I heard good presentations.
