As you will remember, the 2014 NFB New Song Project is currently accepting submissions, and what a perfect time to let your creativity flow then at our seventy-fourth annual convention! I encourage you to get together with a group of friends, and see what y’all can create collectively. We are looking for a song that honors our past, recognizes our present, and embraces the bright future that stands before us as the National Federation of the Blind. Don’t miss out, we have the opportunity to mark history in a significant way, and it’s time we seize this moment. Plan to collaborate with others at our national convention, and get your submissions in to <a href="mailto:nfbsong@nfb.org">nfbsong@nfb.org</a>!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>For more information, please visit our blog post at: <a href="https://nfb.org/blog/vonb-blog/glory-glory-federation-our-cause-goes-marching">https://nfb.org/blog/vonb-blog/glory-glory-federation-our-cause-goes-marching</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Also, please feel free to contact me if you have further questions.
