[NFBNJ] Reminder: National Federation of the Blind of New Jersey 2025 Annual State Convention Pre-Registration is now Open!

[NFBNJ President]

Greetings NFBNJ Members, Family and Friends!



The exclamation point is to share with you our excitement that
pre-registration for our 49th annual state convention is now open! The
event, whose theme is “Live the Life You Want; Creating Champions”, is
being held at a new venue, the APA Hotel (formerly the Woodbridge Hilton),
120 Wood Ave., Iselin section of Woodbridge, NJ from October 23-26, 202 5.



There are some new features this year which we hope you will enjoy:


   - Streamlined registration; on just one form, you can register yourself,
   a SSP or an assistant as well as a child who will be accompanying you.
   - You also can select everyone’s meals on this form.
   - Affiliate Assistance with Meal Costs; Prices have gone up for meals so
   the breakfast buffet will remain at $22 and lunches at $25 with the
   affiliate making up the difference.
   - Vegan/Vegetarian meal options including for the Federation Family Meal
   on Friday and the Banquet on Saturday.
   - Hors d’Oeuvres; thanks to the generosity othe Degenshein Family, we’ll
   be offering a selection of hors d’oeuvres on Thursday evening for
   registered conventioneers and hotel guests.NFB Camp; this is the first time
   we are offering child care for kids ages 2-10 for Saturday, October 25,
   during general sessions as well as the banquet. This service is $10 per
   hour per child as we will be using child care professionals; the affiliate
   will be subsidizing this cost. You will be responsible for bringing your
   child’s drinks, meals and snacks. No diaper changes will be provided; these
   are the responsibility of the child’s parent or guardian.

 In addition to our Technology seminar on Thursday afternoon, there will be
an exhibit hall on Friday from 8 AM until noon. And we promise you an array
of panels, speakers and information-packed general sessions.



There’s time allotted for fun, too, on Friday evening auction and
entertainment. Another chance to network and catch up with old and new
friends during the Friday Family Federation Meal and during Sunday
morning’s breakfast buffet.



So don’t wait – pre-register now for this event here….
