[nfbofmi at gmail.com]

Good day Federation family and friends,

As we prepare for the 2024 National Federation of the Blind of Michigan
(NFBMI) State Convention, we are excited to share some of the key highlights
you won't want to miss! The convention kicks off on October 31, and in the
weeks leading up to it, we will be posting information from our sponsors and
exhibitors. Keep an eye out for these updates to learn more about the
amazing products, services, and opportunities that will be available during
the event. This year's convention promises to be a memorable experience
filled with networking, learning, and opportunities to support the blind
people's movement. As always, we encourage you to share information about
our state convention with your family and friends! If you are posting on
social media, please use our hashtag for this year, which is NFBMI24

 

NFBMI Exhibit Hall
Make sure to stop by the NFBMI exhibit hall, where chapters, divisions,
exhibitors, sponsors, and vendors will showcase the latest products and
services. Whether you're looking for access technology, services that may
benefit you, or some sweet treats, this is the perfect place to explore it
all while connecting with fellow attendees and professionals.

This year, the exhibit hall will also feature our BRB Exhibitor Passport
Program, a special fundraising effort for Blind Equality Achievement Month
(BEAM). By purchasing a BRB Passport ID card, you can participate in an
engaging experience. Simply show your braille ID card at each exhibitor's
table to collect a code word. These words will form our 2024 BRB phrase!
Hand in your complete braille passport with the BRB phrase to President
Parsons after the general session by 5:00 PM on Saturday, November 1, for a
chance to win $150.

If you haven't purchased your BRB Passport ID card yet, don't worry! Cards
will still be available at the convention registration table. However, if
you want to buy the BRB passport card with the personalized braille letter,
along with a list of our chapters and divisions as well as the NFB pledge
and one-minute message, we encourage you to do this as soon as possible. For
more information you can visit The Braille readers Brigade passport page

 

NFBMI State Convention Banquet
Join us on Saturday night for the NFBMI State Convention Banquet, starting
at 7:00 PM. This will be an evening of celebration, recognition, connection
and good eating! Tickets for the banquet are $45 if purchased by October 15,
2024, so be sure to get yours early!
