[nfb-talk] 2012 Convention - advice to newbees

Wed Mar 7 18:22:55 UTC 2012

Hi Chris, 
I've been to every national convention since 1976. Here's my advice for enjoying your first convention - be prepared for too cold air conditioning inside the hotel (except where the rooms are too crowded and too hot) and be prepared for "Hot town, summer in the city" melt-on-the-sidewalk temps and humidity outside. I've seen conventioneers who come to our July convention wearing shorts and sleeveless shirts go back to their rooms to borrow a blanket to wrap up in. <grin>

Well, we haven't gotten the agenda yet, but Dr.  Kurzweil will 
probably be there if this convention is anything like the ones 
from the past few years.  I can't wait for this, my first, 
national convention!

opportunity, blindness can be reduced to a mere physical 
nuisance."

I'd like for you to sing, at the showcase of talent, as well!
I can't wait, to get to Dallas!
I had a great time, two years ago.
Will Dr Kurzweil be there?
Thanks, Joshua

 Mr Freeman, I hope you'll be singing the National Anthem again!
 Your voice reminds me of Tennessee Ernie Ford.
 Blessings, Joshua

 Amen.

 I also reserved a room at the Hilton Anatole in January and I 
also
 just completed the on-line registration.

 See everyone in big D!

 Doctor Maurer announced on the February Presidential Release 
that
 preregistration would be available for the 2012 NFB National
 Convention on March 1, 2012.  I have in the past procrastinated 
on both
 hotel and convention registrations to my detriment.  But, not 
this year.

 I called the hotel the first week in January, and made a 
reservation.
 That was one stress reliever, believe me.  Now, today, March 1, 
I went
 to the web site, and by golly , I was able to preregister for 
the
 convention on-line.
 It worked.  So, by all means, go to <www.nfb.org/registration> 
and get
 signed up for all the activities in Dallas, June 30 through July 
5.
