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. If you or someone you knew is interested, please apply ASAP!
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. Applications for a stipend will be considered for
non-first timers if funding is available
Below is the form needed to apply for a 2013 Rittgers stipend. Please
fill it out and email to myself, Dan Flasar, at

You can also call me at

Please leave a voicemail identifying yourself, your phone #, why you
are calling and the best time to call back. (I will not return phone calls
if no message is left.)
