[Nfbmt] Convention Reminder

[Dan Burke via Nfbmt]

This will be an historic convention, since Dr. Maurer will not be
seeking re-election.  We'll have a new President by the end of the
week!

The 2014 National Federation of the Blind National Convention, to be
held at the Rosen Centre July 1-6, is rapidly approaching. If you have
not yet preregistered
or reserved your room at the Rosen Centre, we encourage you to do so
as soon as possible. You won't want to miss what is always the largest
and most exciting
gathering of blind people in the country!

Rooms at the Rosen Centre are available on a first-come, first-served
basis until our block is filled or until May 28, whichever comes
first. After our
block is filled and/or after May 28, the hotel has no obligation to
accept any further reservations. The room block often fills up before
the deadline,
which is now less than two weeks away! To make a reservation now and
ensure you don't miss out on the special room rates associated with
our block, please
call the Rosen Centre at
(800) 204-7234.

The deadline for preregistration for the national convention is also
quickly approaching - preregistration ends at midnight on May 31. As
always, we encourage
you to preregister online (
 http://lx-web.nfb.org/convention)
and avoid waiting in the long lines at convention. You will also save
some money by preregistering -the preregistration fee for convention
is $25 ($30
on site) and the cost of a banquet ticket is $55 ($60 on site).

Looking forward to seeing you at the Rosen Centre in July!
