[Nfbc-info] Convention

[Karmalynne]

Hi Everyone,

Oh goodness, convention was so much fun even though my allergies acted up something fierce, and I lost my voice. LOL! 

Working with the kids was great. It was so cool to see 3-year-old kids walking around with canes.

I was invited to attend the first meeting of the NFB Native American Alliance during our convention. It was amazing!!! The first half of the meeting was in Navajo, and the other half of the meeting was spoken in Lakota. 

Thank you to all who showed up to work the table on time. It was depply appreciated.

Thank you everyone for being so kind to Susan at her first national convention.

Congratulations to all the scholarship winners!!!!

It was also nice to meet Mary's sister. I hope she enjoyed herself.

Well, I hope everyone had a nice time. Have a great week.
