Dear Federation Family, <br>
<br>
You are cordially invited to attend the inaugural Etiquette Dinner
presented by the Employment Committee of the National Federation of the
Blind! At this dinner, you will be educated on the ins and outs of
appropriate etiquette in both professional and social dining settings.
From knowing which fork to use, to how much to tip, and even appropriate
dinner conversation. These are just a few of the things that will be
discussed. There will also be an “Ask Ms. Manners” portion at the end.
For this portion of the evening, you will have the opportunity to
anonymously ask those burning questions that you may be too afraid or
embarrassed to ask out loud. Simply write down your question in either
braille or large print, bring it with you to dinner, and get the answers
you seek! <br>
<b> <br>
</b>The dinner will be held on Monday July 10<sup>th</sup> at 5:30pm at
Café Osceola located within the Rosen Shingle Creek Hotel. Attendees are
responsible for the cost of their meal and are required to register in
advance to reserve their seat. The dress code is business casual,
and we request that you arrive early so we can begin promptly. <br>
<b> <br>
</b>Also, two lucky attendees will be chosen at random and the cost of
their entire meal (except any alcoholic beverages)will be covered at no
expense to them! <br>
