Family,

 

I’m excited to announce that It is officially time to register and start making your travel plans for the 2024 State Convention of the National Federation of the Blind of California!  Please circulate this announcement to all who may be interested in the largest meeting of blind people in the state.

 

  We will gather at the Sacramento Marriott Rancho Cordova on March 14—17, 2024.  We are excited to showcase driverless cars, advancements in video game accessibility, tactile art/design techniques, updates from our national leadership, an exhibit hall,  and many other resources for the blindness community.  

 

Be sure to book your hotels ASAP because the group rates expire on February 21  We expect to sell out of our room block.  Don’t delay to ensure you have your room at the discount rate while supplies last.  Note that there is no group code and you simply need to reference the National Federation of the Blind of California with the dates and location when booking over the phone to get the discount rate.  Also note that there are some unfortunate access issues with the Marriott website.  While it is possible for some experienced users to book with the web interface given enough patience, others may find it easier to book over the telephone.

Also please share our scholarship application far and wide, applications due Feb 18, though you shouldn’t wait that long.

Any exhibitors or partners who would like to sponsor the convention are much appreciated.  Please reach out to Cheryl Thurston (cthurston74 at gmail.com <mailto:cthurston74 at gmail.com> ) for exhibitor registration opportunities.  Please contact Tim Elder at president at nfbcal.org <mailto:president at nfbcal.org>  for sponsorship options.  We depend on the generous donations of our sponsors to fund the cost of these conventions, provide captioning to our DeafBlind members, Spanish language translation, and fund our Braille child literacy and other advocacy projects throughout the year.  

  

I look forward to seeing everyone in Sacramento very soon!

 

 

Tim Elder
