[Nfbf-l] State Convention, Blind Parents Connect Meeting

[Nicole D Fincham-Shehan]

Good Evening,

Thank you to those of you who were able to join our call this evening.  Your participation is valued and greatly appreciated.

As many of you know, we have begun the planning process for our 2019 NFB of Florida State Convention.  It will take place Memorial Day weekend.

I am reaching out to you all asking for your input and suggestions as to what you would like to see the Blind Parents Connect Committee have during convention weekend.

We are thinking of having an informal round table discussion about various topics that we as blind parents face each day with our children.  In addition, we thought it may be nice to have at the end of our meeting time where we can bring some of the baby items we use each day to make our lives a litttle easier when it comes to caring for or transporting our children.  Some of the items we may share are but certainly not limited to, baby carriers, strollers, car seats and any other item that you may want to bring and share with the group.

The convention planning committee will be meeting next week to discuss details for convention early next week, so I am asking if you have any ideas or topics that you want to see the Blind Parents Connect Committee have at convention, please get all ideas to me by Saturday January 12, 2019.  You can feeel free to send me an email off line or call me at home.

I am asking, please share this information with anyone in your chapters or divisions that may have an interest in being apart of the Blind Parents Connect Committee.  We are looking for suggestions and topics that will interest and benefit all participants.  

As always, if you have any questions, concerns or clarification of anything, please do not hesitate to contact me directly.  I look forward to receiving some creative and innovative ideas from you all.

Thank you.
Nicole
