[Ohio-Talk] State board meeting reminder and convention.

[Richard Payne]

Greetings,

I wanted to remind you that the state board of directors meeting will be
held at the convention hotel and a few rooms have been arranged at the
convention rate for this meeting. You may arrive on Friday night September
22 ,2023, but the board meeting will be held at 10:00 AM on the 23rd.

I would like to encourage you to arrange your rooms for both meetings now
because the block will be released a few weeks before the meetings to keep
the hotel from losing out on profit. I hope none of you have to contact me
and say that you did not make your arrangements room before the block was
released.


All, come by bus, car, guide dog or white cane to the capital city of Ohio!
Do not miss the most happening event of 2023!

It has been four years since the Ohio State Convention has graced its
presence in the largest metropolitan Buckeye region of the Midwest. We will
return to the DoubleTree by Hilton Columbus/Worthington Hotel, on November
17th, 18th and 19th, where spacious rooms, double chocolate chip cookies,
and  Hilton points are waiting for you!

The 2023 Ohio Convention theme is, "Stronger Together!"

The hotel address is 175 Hutchinson Avenue, Columbus, Ohio 43235. You can
make reservations by calling (614) 885-3334. The room rates are only
$109.00, taxes are 17.5%, which includes breakfast for 2 occupants per room.
By the way, there is comfortable seating in the restaurant where we all will
gather for fellowship  each morning prior to great presentations during the
General Sessions and inspiring Breakout Seminars. The good news is that when
you make your reservations, funds are not deducted from your credit card
until you arrive at the hotel. The Group code is NFB. "RESERVE NOW!"

The 77th Annual Convention of the National Federation of the Blind of Ohio
(NFBOH) is the largest gathering of blind people in the state. This will be
an opportunity for participants to learn about accessible technology at our
Technology Fair and on living with blindness, by attending educational
seminars and much more.

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.
