[Nfbc-info] NFBC-Info Digest, Vol 144, Issue 16

Sat May 20 14:35:26 UTC 2017

Hello all,
Hello my name is Jordan Mirander, and I am in desperate, dier need of a male roommate to this year's Convention of the national Federation of the blind. Which will take place at the Rosen shingle Creek resort in Orlando Florida on July 10 through the 15th. I am a first timer. I would love to go to the convention, however without a male roommate I am financially unable to make this trip a reality. $563 is too steep right now for me. However, if you are interested please call 9514547586, or email me at jordanmirander at icloud.com
