> Our caucus will take place on  Wednesday, July 6 from 8:00 – 9:30 p.m. in the Galerie 1 room. Bring your banquet tickets.
>  
> If you are planning to attend the banquet dinner, there is a two-step process in order to get a seat in the banquet. First, you have to purchase a banquet. Second, the tickets have to be turned in in order to receive an assigned table and seat. We will collect  all tickets, turn them in and get a new ticket with the assigned table number for you. Once we have the assigned tables, we will re-distribute them during the general sessions on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

> Volunteers:
> If you would like to volunteer to help at the Arizona table in the exhibit hall, the Independence Market, or as a door prize runner in the general session, please contact Amy Porterfield at aporterfield at saavi.us. Additionally, if you have previously attended an in-person convention and are interested in serving as an ambassador, please contact Amy Porterfield.

> PAC Plan:
> The PAC Plan stands for preauthorized contributions and is a way all members can contribute to the National Federation of the Blind and “funding our movement”. You can contribute as little as $5.00 per month, or as much as you can afford. If you have not already signed up you will be able to sign up during the general sessions on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. If you are already signed up and want to increase your contribution, you can also do that.
