Dear Friends



The Blind Parents Division of the National Federation of the Blind of
Colorado is excited to announce a seminar for blind parents. Join us on
Saturday, August 23-24 at the Colorado Center for the Blind in Littleton,
Colorado.  This high energy, interactive, and informative seminar offers
something for the whole family!



We will kick off Friday evening with a fun family bowling night, which is
included in the cost of registration ($25 individual or $50 for the
family). Saturday we will begin bright and early with a continental
breakfast/social hour followed by general sessions. We are excited to
announce that Melissa Riccobono will be our keynote speaker. In the
afternoon, we have breakout sessions for parents of infants and toddlers,
elementary school aged children, pre-teen and teens, and a special track
for grandparents. We will also have youth track as well as nursery care for
children three and under which is free of charge. After the seminar, those
who are interested can head to Romano???s Pizzeria for great food and fun.
Each family will be responsible for covering their own food cost.



We have a jam-packed agenda that include topics such as discussions of our
legal rights, tools for self-advocacy, and resources provided by the NFB.
We will cover everything from how to make baby food and measure medicine to
driving and applying for college. Grandparents will learn how to stay
involved, connected, and share their rich history with their grandchildren.



We ask that affiliate presidents help us spread the word to parents and
grandparents who may be interested and benefit from this event. Click here
