Well said Carol. I for one am going to try to encourage our chapters members
to go and learn all they can. The more you know about what you are trying to
do the more succesful it is going to be, and I for one want to be the best I
can be at what I am doing.

Hi Pichard,
I think the person who gets most people to the State Convention
should get dinner at a Restaurant they can use at home. That
oway you'll be able to redeem it. Of course, they could always
win some yummy Icecream from Coldstone.
We could always give the winner a cat! Just kidding!
Have a great day.

I hope that when we are trying to get people to attend the convention the
purpose is to educate them on nfb. I know that some will stray but even they
will reap some of the fruit. We must also understand that more will be asked
of individuals and chapters to off set the cost. When ever I say lets get
more to the convention it means because we have limited state educational
programs where we have national and state reps together to walk the walk
and not only talk.
I think this convention marks great important to the future of the
affiliate. Together we can build and not just in numbers. Richard

200 blind high school students have just
converged on the campus of the University of
Maryland to spend a wild week learning about
science, technology, engineering, and math. With
more than 70 adult blind mentors, they will build
greenhouses, dissect sharks, learn CSI techniques, and even drive cars.
You can follow along through the week and learn
breaking news from the NFB Youth Slam by going to
<http://www.twitter.com/NFBYouthSlam>www.twitter.com/NFBYouthSlam
or follow ???NFBYouthSlam??? if you already have a Twitter account,.
Two hundred blind and low vision students from
all across the country will attend this five-day
adventure that will engage, inspire, and
encourage the next generation of blind youth to
consider careers falsely believed to be
impossible for the blind. Have you ever wanted
to build and launch a rocket? Are you interested
in learning about forensics? Or do you have an
interest in journalism? The possibilities are plentiful at the NFB Youth
Slam!
While staying at the University of Maryland,
College Park, students will be mentored by blind
role models during fun and challenging activities
designed to build confidence and increase science literacy. Participants
Students and mentors dance during the closing party of the 2007
will also have the opportunity to attend
workshops on topics such as leadership, career
preparation, and blindness. In addition,
students will have time for fun and mingling
during social activities, such as extreme sports,
recreation night, and a talent show.
