Fellow Federationists:

The following promotional announcement from 195 The Globe may be of interest
to members of your chapters, particularly those who will not be able to join
us in-person at national convention. Please share where appropriate. Thank
you for your support!

Greetings All!
I am writing in because I have some exciting news to share regarding this
year's national convention coverage.
As you know, over the past few years, there has been an online stream
provided of the general sessions, banquet, and board of directors meeting
for people to check out, especially those who aren't able to make the
national convention.
There will be a stream this year, too, but there's an exciting announcement
I'd like to share about this.
It is my pleasure to announce that 195 The Globe, an online radio station,
has partnered with the National Federation Of The Blind to provide
convention coverage this year from Orlando Florida.

The events that 195 The Globe will be covering from convention are:

All general sessions

The board of director's meeting

The banquet

The Performing Arts Division talent show/showcase of talent  Plus other
special interviews and coverage to be announced.

The announcement was officially made on The Blind Side this week. You can
hear the recording of the announcement by going to

The fact that the globe, which is always streaming 24/7, is covering the
convention this year will make it easier for you to listen to the convention
stream if  you are unable to attend, since the globe is available not just
through the standard media players, but on Tunein and OOTunes. You can even
ask alexa or google to play 195 The Globe on Tunein, and that's another way
for you to listen to convention coverage too!

Please watch social media, the #nfb18 hash tag, and other lists for  more
information and times for these events to be streamed during this  year's
national convention.
Thanks to President Riccobono and members of the national office for  giving
us this opportunity to provide top of the line coverage of this  year's
convention.
