For our state convention in October we will again have a mentoring event for 
blind youth.  I am asking any members who would be willing to help with this 
effort to contact me.  I am in need of two types of volunteers.  One group 
will be assigned a blind young person to work with over the time of the 
convention.  As we did two years ago the mentor will help the mentee 
navigate the convention.  The expectation is that the mentee will 
participate fully in the convention sessions.  There will be activities to 
help the mentees to get acquainted and to understand how our organization 
functions.  The second group, who may be the same people, will be asked to 
have an adjacent room to the young people to monitor the evening.  This will 
allow the chaperone to monitor and make sure that the blind youth abide by 
curfew.  This is a great opportunity to provide an important service to 
blind young people.  The comments we received the last time we did this was 
universally positive.  I know that some of the past participants are still 
in contact with their mentors.  If you are hesitant and want more 
information please call me at (206)419-9555 or email me at 
cane.travel at gmail.com.
