I have always dressed up for the banquet. A party dress if it is
conservative, but I have noticed that folks these days (not that I am old)
come to the banquet in all kinds of stuff. I have even seen shorts. I would
say a nice dress skirt or pants suit but please no shorts! lol unless of
course that is all you have.

Hi, Cheryl,
lease take a look at the April 2006 "Braille Monitor" article. It will
nswer these questions and more.  For the bottom-line answer to your
uestion of timing, here is my idea for it.  If you wish to be a part of
he entire convention: arrive at the hotel in time for the 8;30 A.M.
vents on Saturday, June 30; leave after 5 P.M. on Friday, July 6. The
onvention breaks down into these 3 big sections:
Saturday has many workshops and seminars, all day and into the evening.
y the way, Mrs. Cheadle tells me that her division, the National
rganization for Parents of Blind Children (NOPBC) has changed a bit and
ow charges $15 for attendance at their convention events, which covers
he Saturday day-long seminar plus all the daily special workshops and
eetings they run all week. The single fee of $15 covers all the
eetings plus the fat packet of materials.
Sunday and Monday, we have specialty meetings.
ne may choose to attend the annual 3-hour to 4-hour meetings of most of
he divisions, the meeting of the NFB National Board, the meeting of the
esolutions Committee, and find some time to enter the Exhibit Hall
hich is open from after breakfast to suppertime on both days.
Tuesday through Friday, we all meet in the big convention hall to be "in
onvention assembled" to hear the national issues discussed from the
odium and have a chance to put our two-cents in from the floor mikes.
he Exhibit Hall is open many times these four days, but not when the
eneral sessions are going on.  There will be multiple meetings of
ivisions and groups, information events, and fundraisers going on each
orning, each noon, and each evening, except for Thursday night.
hursday night is the big, dress up pretty, national banquet. The
onvention ends at 5 P.M. Friday.
See you there!
