Unlike our seminars in the past, this seminar will focus on social issues as they relate to blindness: table and other social ettiquet, fashion, nonvisual techniques for cooking and eating, etc. Now that the Board has already discussed our ideas for this seminar, we are asking you for your input and ideas. Federationists from Maryland who are not currently students as well as NABS members and Federationists from other states are also welcome. We need all the input we can get, and we would love to hear all your ideas!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>To join this conference call, please call (712) 432-6499.
