Walk in our first ever NFB March for Independence!


If you did not register for the March before June 
1, you are still invited and encouraged to 
participate with us during the March and program at Centennial Olympic Park.

If you are a registered Marcher, please visit the 
Imagination Fund table in the convention 
registration area, located in Imperial Ballroom, 
Salon B (Marquis Level), prior to 5:00 p.m. on 
Monday, July 2.  It is important that you visit 
the table before the March so that you can 
receive your Marcher ribbon, T-shirt, and any 
other thank you gifts you have earned due to your 
fundraising efforts. Thank you for your 
commitment to the Imagination Fund--wear your 
March for Independence gear with pride on Tuesday during this historic event!

All March participants should:
    * Wear comfortable shoes and meet on Harris 
Street outside the hotel.  Proceed out the front 
doors and turn left.  There will be marshals to 
help you.  Also wear your March T-shirts and hats 
if you have them or wear other appropriate NFB 
logo attire.  Professional video crew will be filming this event.
    * Meet on Harris Street between 6:15-6:30 a.m., Tuesday morning, July 3.
