Summer will be here before we know it, and you all know what that means: Convention! The National Organization of Parents of Blind Children (NOPBC) is getting ready for our Annual Seminar during the National Federation of the Blind National Convention, July 8 to 13 in New Orleans. While the biggest decision that many face is how on earth they are going to fit all their stuff in their suitcase, the NOPBC realizes that this time is when we are able to come together and work on some of the most important challenges that our children face. It is one of the only weeks during the year when blind people from all across our nation and other parts of the world come together for one purpose, and that’s not just to enjoy the jazz and beignets; it is to work for the future of our organization and for the future of blind children everywhen, and to have a little fun. NOPBC welcomes you to join us for our EDUCATE Seminar, where we will talk about everything from how to help your child learn how to play, how to get the most from the IEP at school, how blind children can help with chores, how technology can help blind children, and so much more. We hope that you will be able to join us. Registration is open on our website: nopbc.org.
No summer is complete without taking part in the convention of the National Federation of the Blind. If you have been coming for years, you already know this. If you have never been to a convention, come on in; make yourself at home; and know that our Federation family believes in you, your children, and your future. We can’t wait to be with you in NOLA.
