[Tiffany Manosh]

*Grants to the 2013 National Federation of the Blind Convention Are Now
Available!*

Your presence at the national convention is important! By your presence,
you are a part of the largest gathering of blind people held anywhere in
the world. The Federation needs your ideas and your voice, and you need the
strength and knowledge that comes from common association and collective
action. The NFB of California Board of Directors is hopeful that you will
join us in the power and unity of purpose that we find at a national
convention. Therefore, we are offering grants in the amount of five hundred
dollars to assist blind persons and their families to attend the convention
in Orlando, Florida. The convention will be held at the Rosen Centre Hotel
on July 1 to July 6, 2013.
