> state convention of the NFB of California is just around the corner!
> Early registration deadlines for both hotel and convention are this

> register if you haven't already!
> 
> On Friday, there will be two special activities to compliment the
> already jam-packed agenda:
> 
> Braille for Fun!  We all know that braille is at the heart of
> literacy, independence, full employment, and success for the blind,
> but don't forget that it's also for fun!  Join us in the
> Newark/Fremont Hilton lobby on Friday from noon-2 p.m. for drop-in
> braille fun--we'll be drawing with our Perkins braillers, having slate
> races, and playing games.  If you would like to help facilitate or
> provide supplies for these activities (perhaps even just tucking some
> braille paper in your luggage to donate or letting us borrow your
> brailled game?) contact me off-list at olsen.serena at gmail.com.
> 
> There will also be a Youth Chill Out to be held after the student
> meeting concurrent with the Parents Division meeting--just an
> opportunity to do something other than hang out with your parents, to
> connect with some of your peers & mentors, ask those questions about
> blindness or the NFB that have been nagging at you, or just share some
> of your favorite tunes from your media player of choice.  For more
> info on the Youth Chill Out, contact Darian at dsmithnfb at gmail.com.
> 
> Convention fun begins Thursday, October 13th and is a non-stop,
> action-packed ride until we part on Sunday morning.  Get registered if
> you haven't already and we'll see each other in Fremont in just 2
> weeks!
