Hello Missouri  Federationists,
 
   I want to remind everyone that the deadline to apply  to receive a 2013 
Rittgers Stipend to attend National Convention is 5:00 pm,  Wednesday, 
05/15/13.
    The National Convention will be held Monday,  July 1st through Saturday 
afternoon, July 6th 
at the Rosen Centre Hotel, 9840 International Drive in Orlando,  Florida.  
Please check the NFB website for more information:
 
https://nfb.org/national-convention
 
      The NFB National Conventions provide an amazing, life-changing  
opportunity.   NFB members from all over the US and from across  the world meet 
to network, share tips on all aspects of living, to make new  friends, to 
learn new skills and to discover opportunities  to enhance your current skills. 
  There are  numerous seminars, interest group meetings, demonstrations by  
vendors of new and improved devices and much much more.  
 
     As noted in an earlier  post, applicants who have never attended a 
National Convention, whether as a  member of the Missouri affiliate or any 
other affiliate have  priority.    Successful applicants are required to 
participate  fully in convention activities each day, and to be prepared to report 
on their  experiences if requested.  You are also expected to share a hotel 
room to  help defray costs.
 
Below is the form needed to apply for a 2013 Rittgers  stipend.  Please
