The National Federation of the Blind provides blind people with
opportunities for networking and mentorship. Our annual state convention
thus serves as a venue for blind Missourians to exchange practical ideas to
improve our lives. Our exhibit hall will showcase various sponsors offering
products and services that help blind people live the lives we want. During
Friday afternoon we will hold seminars on various topics such as exploring
ways to address the needs of underserved developmentally disabled blind
adults, a blind students' seminar, and a seminar for parents of blind
children. A complete agenda is available at  <http://www.nfbmo.org>

"We know that blindness does not hold us back from living the lives we want.
This convention is an opportunity to explore what blindness is and how blind
people can thrive at work, school, home, and in the pursuit of other
interests," said Shelia Wright, President of the National Federation of the
Blind of Missouri.
