[Ohio-talk] Convention Agenda anyone?

[Deborah Kendrick]

Carol, 
If your friends attend, you might introduce them to Elif Emir Oksuz, one of our scholarship winners.  Elif came here to study in 2012.  She is from Turkey, and is a great example of how a blind person from another country can both get acclimated here and share what she learns with her fellow citizens at home.  
Keep spreading the word!
Deborah

Subject: [Ohio-talk] Convention Agenda anyone?

I am not sure if I have missed the agenda or if it hasn't been sent out yet.  I was really hoping to be able to share it with the potential attendees that I met at the gym.  I know it would help them to better understand what NFB is about, if they could read what is in store for them.  They are from another country and are searching for answers on how to deal with blindness.   We are fortunate here in America, even though the system is not perfect, at least there are programs for blind students and adults.  In their country, once you are blind, that is the end of education and there are no resources.I am encouraging them to attend, but it would really help to have more information for them.Carol _______________________________________________
