Hello everyone:
Friendly reminder about our meeting at the 74th National Convention of the National Federation of the Blind.
Call all members and non-members, we are only a month away from people leaving for Convention. Many of us will be leaving on June 30th.  
A few updates and reminders. 
Please reply to travelandtourism.org unless you are an officer then you can reply to cherylandmaxx at hotmail.com
We are having elections this year, all seats are available, and all officers are requesting to continue with their positions, but we are seeking 2 board member positions since Ms. Amy Baron is running for Vice President this year.  If you are a paid member of the NFB.org you are welcome to run, sighted and blind a like, we don't discriminate.

The 12th Annual Meeting of the NFB Travel & Tourism Division will be on July 3rd from 1-4:30 pm Registration starts at 12:30.
We have a large agenda including our business meeting and elections, guests presentation and discussions.
All officers, Mandatory conference call sometime in June. Right now the 22nd of June works for me that is a Sunday, possibly in the evening after 6:30 pm. 
We will need everyone to register for the meeting, whether or not you are a member or not. we will be sending out an e-mail once we return from convention, which is a survey of the meeting, and what you would like to do and talk about in future meetings; also about the at large division meetings that are held a few times a year. 
So we need updated emails and phone numbers.
If you have any questions, please ask.
Looking forward to the meeting this year.

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 have the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.
