[nfb-talk] Fwd: Assistance needed at National

[Reyazuddin, Yasmin]

Hi Everyone, 
The individual who needs a pusher at the convention could get assistance
from her room mate. I know that it will be challenging for the room mate
if they have two different meetings to go to, but as the federation
family others in the meetings could help. If other chapter members are
going to the convention, they could plan to assist the individual and
take some responsibility. The UPS Volunteers can help in the public
areas of the hotel. The last choice would be to bring a family member as
a personal care attendant. 
These are some ideas, if anyone else has others.
