It is extremely important to look at alternate ways to raise funding to reduce the cost to the blind who attend. These annual conventions provide exhibits, a Friday evening Reception, Saturday and Sunday morning continental breakfasts, and an evening Banquet. With six division meetings including blind students, seniors, merchants, computer science, parents of blind children, sports and rec, numerous committee meetings, and three convention general sessions, it is no wonder that hosting a convention today requires well thought out planning, and detailed budgeting. Because our state organization had to postpone the in-person convention from 2020, this year, there are hotel fees that will be charged regardless of the number of attendees. This is where you can help. </span></b></span></span><span style='mso-bookmark:OLE_LINK1'><span style='mso-bookmark:OLE_LINK2'><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'><o:p></o:p></span></b></span></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-bookmark:OLE_LINK1'><span style='mso-bookmark:OLE_LINK2'><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></b></span></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-bookmark:OLE_LINK1'><span style='mso-bookmark:OLE_LINK2'><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>As a convention sponsor, you can help defray the cost of these conventions.
