[Nfbc-info] NFBC Grants to National Convention in Orlando Are Now Available On Line

[Mary Willows]

Hello All:

I am pleased to announce that you can follow the link below to apply for a 
grant to the national convention in Orlando, Florida.  The national 
convention will be held at the Rosen Shingle Creek Resort from July 3 
through 8, 2011.  There are two categories of grants available.  They are:
1.  "Radcliff" Grants ($750.00) are made available to persons who are 
attending a national convention for the first time.  Francis Radcliff 
established this grant with the hope and knowledge that if someone was given 
the opportunity to see the National Federation of the Blind in action, they 
would make every effort to get to subsequent conventions.

2.  "NFBC" ($500.00) or affiliate grants are made available to members who 
have demonstrated leadership in the affiliate.  Anyone who is a member in 
good standing can check this category.

The deadline for applying is May 14,2011.  The Board of Directors will meet 
and decide on the worthy recipients on the 15th and winners will be notified 
shortly thereafter.

The following is the link to our six dots website where you can find the 
application forms.
