I’d love to see some sessions run on Zoom for those who can’t come in person, but there is nothing like the feeling of empowerment you feel when you are actually there. The hugging of friends, the eves dropping on conversations you hear at the bar, the fighting at the elavators, even the rude person who jabbed her elbow in to me one year when I ever so slightly brushed her arm in a crowd. All of those things make up a real convention. I found the convention informative, but I did not feel that sense of motivation I usually feel when I leave national.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>But hey, I was off work for a week, what more could I want?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>Kaye Baker<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>Listen to Epic Radio<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>Visit us on the web at www.epicradio.net<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b>From:</b> nFB-Talk <nfb-talk-bounces@nfbnet.org> <b>On Behalf Of </b>margo Downey via nFB-Talk<br><b>Sent:</b> Sunday, July 19, 2020 5:52 PM<br><b>To:</b> mike@michaelhingson.com; 'NFB Talk Mailing List' <nfb-talk@nfbnet.org><br><b>Cc:</b> margo Downey <margo.downey@roadrunner.com><br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [NFB-Talk] One great thing aba virtual convention.<o:p></o:p></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>I enjoyed the virtual convention and wouldn’t mind if they were all that way except you can’t have hands-on with the exhibits.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Margo and Guide Dog Isis<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif'> nFB-Talk [<a href="mailto:nfb-talk-bounces@nfbnet.org">mailto:nfb-talk-bounces@nfbnet.org</a>] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Mike Hingson via nFB-Talk<br><b>Sent:</b> Sunday, July 19, 2020 5:41 PM<br><b>To:</b> 'NFB Talk Mailing List'<br><b>Cc:</b> <a href="mailto:mike@michaelhingson.com">mike@michaelhingson.com</a><br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [NFB-Talk] One great thing aba virtual convention.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Good point and the seat is just as comfortable as ever.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b>From:</b> nFB-Talk <b>On Behalf Of </b>Judy Jones via nFB-Talk<br><b>Sent:</b> Saturday, July 18, 2020 6:52 PM<br><b>To:</b> nfb talk <<a href="mailto:NFB-Talk@nfbnet.org">NFB-Talk@nfbnet.org</a>><br><b>Cc:</b> Judy Jones <<a href="mailto:sonshines59@gmail.com">sonshines59@gmail.com</a>><br><b>Subject:</b> [NFB-Talk] One great thing aba virtual convention.<o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>In the event you have to leave the room, it's easy to find your seat when you get back.
