Hello Friends,

Below my email, is a note about four virtual tours that you may attend
during the convention. Please feel free to attend any of these events. Also,
wander over to nfb.org/convention and check out the plethora of information.
Here is the link to register if you are interested. If it doesn't work the
first time, don't hesitate to try several times. May just take a few minutes
to go through.  So waiting patiently for a minute or two may yield positive
results! .

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.
