The National Federation of the Blind will kick off its annual event on July 6<sup>th</sup> and the American council of the Blind will launch theirs ten days later, on July 16<sup>th</sup>. Both of these exciting annual events will be held virtually and both will be full of truly interesting presentations and meetings. Let’s cross our fingers that next year we can all gather in person at whichever national convention we want to attend.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">We could probably all benefit from a crash course in what’s coming up at both conventions and so we will have those in the know from both the NFB and ACB joining us. One of our Sunrise and Shine family members, Sheila Young, President of the Florida Council of the Blind will be with us during the first hour of our call. Sheila has arranged for ACB national President Dan Spoon to join us as well. Has Dan been with us before on “Rise and Shine? I don’t think so, and so I am thrilled to have him Zooming in with us and to have him find out how awesome our regular calls are.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Most of us have become pretty familiar with attending meetings using the Zoom platform over the past year and in fact, we’ve been using Zoom since we launched Rise and Shine last <span style="color:#1F497D">year</span>.
