Mon Jan 1 14:33:01 UTC 2018

Happy New Year Owen! That is good news and others may be interested in
the National Covention updates too.
As of today, I am not aware of any new info. The current focus is the
Washington Seminar. Suzanne will post convention updates as she get
them.
However, you can go to nfb.org for up to the minit information...

I encourage everyone to post current and relevant articles and events
to the list serve. Make sure what you post is accurate and blindness
related. The list serve is designed to be interactive.

Make this a great day!  CF
