Become a member by visiting our <u>membership page</u> (<a href="https://nfb-pad.org/member"> https://nfb-pad.org/member</a>) and paying your $5 annual dues.<br>•In order to reserve one of our 15 available pre-registrant spoots, we must receive your registration submission and your participant fee of $10. Your spot will not be held until we receive both of these crucial components.<br>•There are only 15 pre-registrant spots, so if you do not snag oone early, they could all be taken. When the initial 15 are claimed, pre-registration closes. 10 additional spots will become available at the start of National Convention, but we cannot guarantee a spot for you.<br>•Family friendly performances are required, and they may only llast between 2-4 minutes, so please be conscientious when selecting your performance material.<br> <br>As of now, our pre-registration window is open. This window will remain open until either the 15 spots are claimed or the end of the day <u>on Sunday, June 30</u>, whichever comes first. Spots often go quickly, so we invite and encourage you to lock in your spot at your earliest convenience.<br> <br>Pre-register using the link below:<br><u><a href="https://nfb-pad.org/showcase">https://nfb-pad.org/showcase</a></u><br> <br>Pay your $10 participant fee using the link below:<u> </u><a href="http://www.paypal.me/nfbpad">www.paypal.me/nfbpad</a><br> <br>We welcome everyone in Orlando to support the performers at the show; audience tickets are $5 (five dollars) at the door.<br><br>Email us at <a href="mailto:nfbpad@gmail.com">nfbpad@gmail.com</a> with any questions.<br><br>We cannot wait to see all of this year’s talent, and we thank you in advance for your excitement and courage in joining in the fun!<br><br><br>~Katelyn MacIntyre, M.M.<br>President, National Federation of the Blind Performing Arts Division<br><a href="http://www.nfb-pad.org/">www.nfb-pad.org</a><br><a href="http://www.facebook.com/PerformingArtsDivision">www.facebook.com/PerformingArtsDivision</a><br>Twitter: @NFB_PAD<o:p></o:p></p></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote></div></body></html>
