Hello Ohio, I normally do not advertise events that are facilitated by
other states, but this event hosted by the California Association of Blind
Students is a very unique and interesting opportunity. Please see the below
message from their president, Cricket.

Hello all,

Please forward to whomever you think is interested.

One highlight of the  summer for blind people around the country are the
National Federation of the Blind (NFB) and American Council of the Blind
(ACB) conventions  in July. Both conventions are easily
affordable this year because they are virtual. In preparing for these
conventions,
the California Association of Blind Students (CABS) is excited to hold our
June membership call with panelists from both the NFB and ACB. We intend to
provide information on both organizations,
how you can get  involved, and what to expect at both conventions. We ask
that all questions be submitted in advance via this Google form:

Here’s the Zoom info:

Date: Saturday, June 26, 2021
Time: 4:00 PM Pacific
Zoom link: tinyURL.com/CXBZoomRoom

Lastly, we would like to acknowledge that the relationship between NFB and
ACB is often viewed as adversarial. This call is not intended to further
this perception, nor to encourage people to choose between
organizations. Panelists will be asked not to make divisive remarks, or to
say anything that could be perceived as attacking either organization
and/or their members.

See you there, and we hope your summers are off to a restful start.

Warmest Regards,
Cricket X. Bidleman (on behalf of the CABS board)
