> Hello Everyone,
>
> Convention is less than a month away, and I just wanted to take a moment 
> to highlight a few events that would be of interest to all of you as you 
> plan your
> convention schedules.
>
> Presidents' gathering: On Sunday, July 2 between 11:30-1:30 pm, in the 
> Affiliate Action suite (room 2372) there will be an informal gathering for 
> all state
> presidents. You are welcomed to drop by, bring new ideas and get caught up 
> with everyone.
>
> NFB-LINK training: Our new online mentoring program, NFB-LINK, will be 
> launched tomorrow! We have organized training sessions at convention to 
> provide information
> on how the program operates for anyone who signed up to be a mentor or for 
> anyone who wishes to become a mentor. Please urge everyone to attend one 
> of
> the training sessions so that together, we can truly make this program a 
> success!
>
> Spanish seminar: Remember that on Sunday between 4:00-7:00 pm there will 
> be a seminar completely in Spanish. The seminar will offer information and 
> motivation
> and it will provide an opportunity for participants to interact with 
> Hispanic Federationists.
>
> Grantwriting: At convention, we will offer a seminar dealing with fund 
> raising through Grantwriting. I want to know if any state affiliate or 
> local chapter
> has obtained grants to fund projects.  If so, email me and let me know as 
> soon as possible.
>
> Please spread the word about these events to our members. Thanks for your 
> work and I look forward to seeing all of you at convention!
