Hi,
I did actually email your gmail address already this morning.
Maybe you didn't get it.
But I did email you.

 Hi.
 Its Laura.
 I know you from W Ross Amanda.
 You graduated in 2011.
 Good to hear from you again.
 And yes, I'd join the conference call to.
 Maybe I could even help host it.

 I was thinking of organizing a group to come to the New York

 No, there is no group that gets together at convention.  Nor, to 
my knowledge, has there been throughout the entire history of the 
national Federation of the blind.  There is only this list which, 
as you can see, got virtually no traffic before this week.  
Perhaps, if we get enough people, we can start getting a body 
together who would gather at convention.

 David, If by organized activity, you mean something akin to nabs 
for blind Jews, no, there is not, so there is no so-called 
division president who would, by rights, be the moderator.  It 
would be one of us, the people who are posting on this list now.  
I will volunteer for the job, if nobody else wants it.  Ryan
