[NFBMI-Talk] Fwd: 21st Century Transportation Conference

[Fred Wurtzel]

Hello,


Writing from the very hot desert of Nevada where there are earthquakes.  The Convention is off to a great start with lots of very motivated, enthusiastic and dedicated Federationists.  It is clear that the leader in thought and action in blindness is the NFB.
Here is information about a partnership between the University of michigan, BSBP and the NFBMI  that may provide career direction for our blind youth.  Please distribute the following information to our young folks and their parents.

Thank you.

Warmest Regards,

Fred
