[BlindKid] NFB Convention

[Carol Castellano]

Hi Linda,

We have an entire "Youth Track" of activities for kids your daughter's
age.  She'll have the opportunity to meet lots of other teens and have fun,
too.  I don't think the agenda for it is out yet, but there are things
going on most days and some evenings.  The hope is also that kids will make
friends and make plans with them.
