The National Federation of the Blind of Washington has some funds available to assist people who want to attend the 2024 NFBW state convention in Vancouver February 29 - March 3. We ask that you also contact your chapter or division president for assistance. Even if you are only needing assistance from your chapter or division, you still need to complete the attached form. If you are a DSB customer you should also talk with your VR counselor about providing funding. The deadline to apply for financial assistance from the NFB of Washington is today, January 28, 2024 by 2:00pm Pacific. Send applications to Corey Grandstaff, NFBW treasurer, at <a href="mailto:corey.grandstaf@gmail.com">corey.grandstaf@gmail.com</a> and Marci Carpenter, NFBW President, at <a href="mailto:mjc59@comcast.net">mjc59@comcast.net</a> <<a href="mailto:mjc59@comcast.net">mailto:mjc59@comcast.net</a>>. An Award Committee will review all applications and will notify all applicants of its decisions by Saturday, February 3. If you have difficulty with the application, call Corey Grandstaff today at 4197681523.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Corey Grandstaff, NFBW Treasurer<o:p></o:p></p></div></div></div></body></html>
