[Nfbf-l] Fwd: NFB of Colorado to stream its 54th Annual State convention from Colorado Springs

[minichiellog at comcast.net]

Hello list
Is anyone out there listening to the Colorado convention? I just tuned in this morning. I've found this very interesting listening to what another affiliate is doing and how they run their convention. There is much to learn from other affiliates. I've also viewed their agenda. What a great way to generate ideas and make changes and improvements to our own convention and affiliate! The audio quality is very good.

from Colorado Springs







Greetings,







For the third year in a row, The National Federation of the Blind of 



Colorado will stream the general sessions and banquet of its annual 



state convention across the country and around the world over the 



Internet.  In years past, we have had listeners log in from as far 



away as India and last year, Doctor Maurer called in on the phone to 



say a quick hello from the busy streets of central London.  We want 



everyone to be a part of our fun, enthusiastic, and inspiring 



convention; even if you aren't with us in Colorado Springs.







The convention will take place this weekend, Friday, November 7, 



through Sunday November 9.



On Friday, our general sessions will run from 10:00 am till about 



01:15 pm Mountain time.







On Saturday, the sessions will run from 08:45 am till about 01:45 



pm  mountain time.  Our banquet will run from about 07:00 pm to 09:00 



pm mountain time.



Our final session will start at 09:00 am on Sunday morning and will 



rap up no later than 11:47 am (mountain time) that same 



morning.  Please see the attached agenda for exact times and for more 



information about our convention.











You can join our stream by going to the NFB of Colorado web cite at 



www.nfbco.org and clinking on the link for our 



live stream.  During our streaming sessions, you can call the sound 



crew at 720-897-nfbc or 720-897-6322 .  You can also reach them via 



Skype at "nfbcolorado".  Lastly, you can send the crew email at 



nfbco2008 at gmail.com   Who knows?  Your 



comments and questions may very well be forwarded on to Scott LaBarre 



or whoever the moderator happens to be at the time.  You may even get 



to talk to the convention live!







Wherever you are and from whatever time zone you're listening from, 



log in and have a great time joining with the members of the NFB of 



Colorado as we take the next step towards independents.







Best Regards,



Chris Foster
