[nfbwatlk] NFB of Washington 2013 Convention

[Mike Freeman]

All:

 

You are cordially invited to the upcoming convention of the National
Federation of the Blind of Washington. Dr Maurer, President of the National
Federation of the Blind, will be the National Representative. The convention
will be held October 18 - 20, 2013 in Everett, WA.

 

 

The convention promises to be one of the best. You won't want to miss it! 

 

The convention will again take place at the Holiday Inn Downtown-Everett,

3105 Pine Street, Everett, WA, on October 18, 19 and 20, 2013. You may make
hotel reservations by calling (425) 339-2000. When making your reservations,
please indicate that you will be attending the convention of the National
Federation of the Blind of Washington.

Room rates are the same as those for last year: $89 per night for singles
and doubles; $99 per night for triples and quads. There will be a tax of
approximately 15% added per night to the cost of a room.

As was the case last year, two meals will be provided: dinner on Friday
evening and a banquet meal on Saturday evening. If payment is received
before October 7, the cost per meal will be $35.00 and the cost of
registration will be $15.00. Thus, the total cost for the package of two
meals and registration will be $85.00. The cost for the package of one meal
and registration will be $50.00. I urge everyone to purchase both meals as
you won't want to miss the fellowship and camaraderie of the events
occurring during Friday evening's dinner and afterward and you won't want to
miss the convention banquet on Saturday evening.

If payment is received on or after October 7 or at the door, the cost per
meal will be $40.00 and the cost of registration will be $20.00. Thus, the
cost of the two-meal package will be $100.00 and the cost of one meal and
registration will be $60.00.

The cost of registration alone is $25.00.

Checks should be made payable to "National Federation of the blind of
Washington" or "NFBW" and may be sent to:

National Federation of the Blind of Washington P.O. Box 2516 Seattle, WA
98111. Just enclose a note with your payment indicating for whom you are
paying and if you are not purchasing both meals, which meal you are paying
for. This information is also available at http://www.nfbw.org which is the
NFB of Washington website. I'm also working on a registration form in .doc
format which will appear on the website in the next couple of days.

 

In addition to the regular convention offerings, there will be an iPhone
seminar late Friday morning or early Friday afternoon and a seminar on
diabetes management as a blind person on Friday afternoon.

Make your reservations now for the 2013 convention of the National
Federation of the Blind of Washington. You won't want to miss it!
