<div><font face="Arial" size="4"><span style="font-size:14pt;">Thank you for traveling to Independence, Ohio to take part in our 70<font size="2"><span style="font-size:9.3pt;"><sup>th</sup></span></font> annual state convention. We are truly happy that you
are here. This year’s agenda is filled with information designed to help you live the life you want. As you take the time to get familiar with the hotel, listen to guest speakers, participate in breakout sessions, join division and chapter meetings, shop in
Exhibit Hall, and enjoy a meal with your Federation family during our annual Banquet, please take a moment to reflect on the historic significance that 70 years of blind people marching together toward independence has had on our lives. </span></font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="4"><span style="font-size:14pt;"> </span></font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="4"><span style="font-size:14pt;">Dozens of people all across our affiliate worked tirelessly to make this convention possible. I am sincerely grateful to all those who gave hours and hours of their time and energy to make this
convention special. As an all-volunteer organization, we are blessed to have a wide range of dedicated members ready to lend a hand. I hope that you enjoy the fruits of our collective efforts and let’s go build the Federation.</span></font></div>

<div align="center" style="text-align:center;"><font face="Arial" size="4"><span style="font-size:16pt;"><b>About the NFBO</b></span></font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="4"><span style="font-size:14pt;">The National Federation of the Blind of Ohio (NFBO) is a 501c3 non-profit organization and a founding affiliate of the National Federation of the Blind (NFB). We are proud to be an integral part
of the oldest and largest blindness organization in the United States. We are a diverse group of people dedicated to changing what it means to be blind. Our members work tirelessly to break down the legal, social, and personal barriers to living the lives we
want.</span></font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="4"><span style="font-size:14pt;"> </span></font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="4"><span style="font-size:14pt;">The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations
create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.</span></font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="4"><span style="font-size:14pt;"> </span></font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="4"><span style="font-size:14pt;"> </span></font></div>
<div align="center" style="text-align:center;"><font face="Arial" size="4"><span style="font-size:16pt;"><b>NFB Pledge</b></span></font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="4"><span style="font-size:14pt;">I pledge to participate actively in the effort of the National Federation of the Blind to achieve equality, opportunity, and security for the blind; to support the policies and programs of the Federation;
and to abide by its constitution.</span></font></div>

<div align="center" style="text-align:center;"><font face="Arial" size="4"><span style="font-size:16pt;"><b>Navigating the DoubleTree by Barbara Pierce</b></span></font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="4"><span style="font-size:14pt;">This is a lovely facility with delicious food. The entrance is on the north side of the hotel, which means that you are facing south as you enter. If you step forward a few feet, the registration
desk will be on the right (west) side of the lobby. Seating groups of furniture are in the center of the lobby, and Shula's Restaurant and Bar is located on the east wall. You pass through the bar before reaching restaurant seating. Wait in the bar to be seated.</span></font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="4"><span style="font-size:14pt;"> </span></font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="4"><span style="font-size:14pt;">After checking in, continue walking south. You will notice a corridor turning west (right). This leads to the sleeping rooms and the elevators to the upper floors. As you walk down this hall, west,
you will first pass the Directors Room on your right and then the Boardroom. These are small meeting rooms, and they are close to the lobby end of the hall. This corridor dead ends into an exit with grass outside it. This is the dog relief area, and a trash
receptacle will be located outside the door for your convenience. Back in the hallway turn left at that door (south) to reach sleeping rooms and the elevator; both of these are found on the left side of the hallway only. At the south end of the hall you can
turn right to find Room 121, our hospitality room, or left (east) to walk along a hall that connects with the south end of the foyer area outside the ballrooms, which are also our principal breakout rooms.</span></font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="4"><span style="font-size:14pt;"> </span></font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="4"><span style="font-size:14pt;">Returning to the lobby just before the right turn to pass the Directors Room and Boardroom. If you angle yourself forty-five degrees to the left, you’ll find a corridor with access to the indoor
and outdoor swimming pools, and the business center on the right. This hall opens into the ballroom area. There are two ballrooms, both on the left side. The first is the Grand Ballroom with division rooms 1, 2, and 3 going south. Next is a carpeted hall to
the left (east) which gives access on the right side to Petit Ballrooms A and B. Rooms C, D, and E lie to the south of these two smaller rooms. Note that the only access to rooms A and B is from the cross hall. There are restrooms in the foyer on the east side
before the ballrooms and also around the hallways near the elevators.</span></font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="4"><span style="font-size:14pt;"> </span></font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="4"><span style="font-size:14pt;">That's it. Read through this article several times, pausing after reading each new element to build a map in your head. If you take time to do this, you will sail through the convention with no
problems. All rooms are marked in Braille and raised print in the standard locations. Happy travels.</span></font></div>

<div><font face="Arial" size="4"><span style="font-size:14pt;">NFB literature will be available throughout the convention in the registration area. Pre-Registration packet pick-up and convention registration will take place in the foyer outside of the Grand
Ballrooms. Those who have completed their registration prior to convention will form a line at the Pre-Registration Table for a speedy process. Visit the Registration Table to register for convention or to purchase additional tickets to events. Both tables

hall, past the meeting rooms. A trash receptacle will be provided. Please note you will need your room key after 10:00 PM to get back into the hotel from those exits. If you have questions or need assistance, contact Deanna Lewis, President of the Ohio Guide
