Important Deadline: Washington Seminar

Hello everyone,


Our annual Washington Seminar will take place on Monday, January 25 through Thursday, January 28, 2016. Over 500 members of the NFB come together to learn about and advocate for legislative initiatives that will improve the lives of blind Americans. Please let me know AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, and ideally, before the end of the year, if you plan on attending. My email address is Stephanie.h.deluca at gmail.com, and my phone number is 256-810-2138.



IMPORTANT:  The firm deadline date to make a reservation at the Holiday Inn Capitol is Monday, December 21, 2015. Reservation requests received after the deadline date will be subject to availability and prevailing rate. You can reserve a room at the Holiday Inn Capitol (550 C Street, SW, Washington, DC 20024) for Washington Seminar with check-in beginning Saturday, January 23, 2016, check-out by Friday, January 29, 2016. The rate is $184.00 per night. This rate does not include DC sales tax, currently 14.5%. You may begin booking reservations directly online here. You may also make reservations by calling (877) 572-6951 and referencing booking code N9B. If you would like to stay in the home of someone in the DC metro area, please contact Tracy Soforenko at tracy.soforenko at gmail.com. 



Additional information may be obtained here or by contacting the NFB National Office at 410- 659-9314.



Please join us to cast off the perception of incapacity that is too often reinforced by bad public policies that serve to relegate blind Americans to second class citizenship. 



All the best,



Stephanie DeLuca
