You will start hearing more and more about this year's convention. You make
the difference tell people about the convention. I am putting together the
agenda and you should enjoy it. We are the NFB that is why I know this will
be a great convention.  Marching for independence will be the theme this
year. . 
  We have already got a 1000 dollar sponsor so far you should be asking
people to sponsor this convention also. Suzanne will be working with door
prizes this year so she would appreciate it if you would get several door
prizes for the state convention. Several of us went to Columbus to provide
training to the OOD councilors and other staff. I put the comments on Ohio
talks about the good compliments from the OOD staff. You should be very
proud of the work your leaders done with this training. Sherri will be going
to Baltimore to help our blind kids to live the lives they want the work
never ends. In three weeks, the nfb will host the first of two NFB BELL
Academy Training Seminars this fall. Working together to support each other
as we prepare to mark the tenth anniversary of the first BELL program in the
summer of 2017.      We look forward to it.
