Have you been working with your chapters divisions, groups and others  on those baskets for auction items?
Have you been posting on social media promoting this opportunity for blind people to experience their Possibilities in Motion?
Have  you been getting donations for those door prizes we all love to win?

Many of us who have had this experience of convention, have highlights 
if it is the food, or new friendships, Rubbing shoulders with our national guests and visitors, if it is breakout sessions, enjoying the auctioneers candor, or the music after hours jamming into the early morning, or enjoying the venters who come to share technology, fun stuff and educate, or just being around people who know how to be successful.  .

 It is time to gather, grow, and gear up for action! We are thrilled to invite you to the 2026 National Federation of the Blind of Utah Annual State Convention. This year, our theme is "Possibilities in Motion: Bridging Policy, Purpose, and Personal Potential."
