[NFBMO] Fwd: [NFBMI-Talk] FW: Convention Communications: Register Now

Sun Mar 15 09:14:48 UTC 2026

Greetings all what with the state convention of the affiliate coming up and the National organizations yearly meeting in 3 1/2 months, I thought it would be worthwhile to forward this message to the list.

If you go to the link noted in this message, you will find yourself on another page. I personally was expecting to be taken directly to the page listing information about the national convention, which, apparently this year will be in Austin, Texas. However, there is a link on the page which will open for you if you access the link in this message which you can take to the website  website of the NFB. Having not been there in a while I found it rather refreshing to see some changes in the way information is presented, and in fact the information itself which I had not seen for a while. I urge you to take advantage of this link and perhaps a tour of the National website you find it you might find it to be very constructive as well as instructive. Fred Olver.
