National Federation of the Blind of Missouri to Hold Convention

Springfield, Missouri (March 28, 2022): Blind people and their families, people who are losing vision, families with blind children, and others are invited to join the National Federation of the Blind of Missouri at our annual convention this weekend.

Are you new to blindness, or do you know someone who is? As you age, are you experiencing vision loss and wonder how to cope? Most people have lots of questions about how to do things they once took for granted, and we have many of those answers. On Friday, April 1, we will hold a seminar from 1:00 p.m. until 3:00 p.m. to give out information and take questions. Additional programs for Parents of Blind Children, blind students, and much more will be occurring, including exhibits of products and services available to help blind people learn to live the life they Want. A complete agenda is available at www.nfbmo.org<http://www.nfbmo.org>.

Location:         Doubletree Hotel
2431 North Glenstone Avenue
Springfield, MO 65803

Date:               March 31-April 3, 2022

"Our lived experiences have taught us that blind people can and do achieve their dreams with proper training and opportunity, and we are here to help others live the life they want!" Said Shelia Wright, President of the National Federation of the Blind of Missouri.
