Dear Students,

 As excited as we are as a Federation family for the state convention in
 Virginia Beach in November, I am even more excited to share the
 opportunities and interesting programs that the Student Division has to
 offer. Please join your fellow Virginia affiliate students in creating
 memories and growing our membership by attending our student programming
 during convention. The student's division will have a hand in a variety of
 different affiliate events and seminars like the exhibit hall on Friday,
 November 11, where we will be fundraising our popular shot glasses, raffle
 tickets for a 50/50 prize, and delicious home baked peanut butter cookies.
 We will also be providing even more exciting events throughout the weekend
 including a delicious breakfast with our affiliate board, a luncheon and
 meeting to discuss future division events, panel discussions to address
 issues that students face every day at school and at home, and of course the
 annual Youth Track that we all love. Also, attendance at these
programs includes a chance for you to win a few door prizes from the
Student Division
 including a $50 cash prize.

 If you are going to attend the convention and you are planning to take part
 in our student programming, please send an email to our secretary, Jennifer
 Shields, who will be able to count you in the running for door prizes and
 add you to the list for the luncheon on Saturday, November 12. Her email
 address is jen.shields929 at gmail.com <mailto:jen.shields929 at gmail.com> . We
 would like for all students to confirm if they are coming or not by Friday,
 October 21, 2016 in order to have an accurate count of how many students to
 expect. When you send the email, just include the following in the message
 body:



 1.       Your name:

 2.       Your Chapter:

 3.     Contact Information:

 4.       The days you are attending convention:

 5.       Your favorite pizza topping:

 We look forward to meeting with you and having an exciting weekend on the
 ocean front.


 Best Regard

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.
