[NFBF-L] Convention Agenda Outline

[secretary at nfbflorida.org]

Greetings all,

 

President Tate has asked me to send the tentative convention outline so all
of you will have an idea of the schedule to determine times you will
volunteer, etc. The agenda outline is pasted below my signature and
attached. If you have any questions, please contact me. Thank you.

National Federation of the Blind of Florida

                              The National Federation of the Blind knows
that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future.
Every day we raise the expectations

of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind
people and our dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what
holds you back.
