[nfbwatlk] Gunnies World Record Attempt at National Convention

[Prows, Bennett (HHS/OCR)]

Hello Everyone,

As Marci sent the message below concerning the Guinness World Record Attempt at the National Fedderation of the Blind Convention, I went to the web site and signed up. If you are going to the convention, please make sure to 1. Make your hotel reservation if you haven't already. I understand the Rosen Center is full for some of the nights of convention so if you haven't made reservations yet, you'll be staying at the over flow hotel for at least part of the 75th year convention; 
2. Prerehgister for the convention and buy the banquet ticket; 
3.Go to the web site at <http://www.nfb.org/gwr and sign up to commit to hold an umbrella at the designated time. I guess we need to sign up so that the photographs taken of us performing the task involved may be published, shown, etc. And, of course we want to make sure to know who is there and involved.

Now, sign up, and join us at the convention in Orlando.

/s/

Bennett

Guinness World Record Attempt:
On July 8, 2015, in honor of the seventy-fifth anniversary of the National Federation of the Blind, we will attempt to set a world record by creating the largest umbrella mosaic. In the National Federation of the Blind we know that together with love, hope, and determination we transform dreams into reality. Together—the members of the Federation along with our friends and supporters—will undertake a world record to raise expectations and bring focus to the ongoing mission of our organization. Will you be one of the 3,000 people in attendance at our world record attempt? All you have to do is hold an umbrella up at the designated time to help form the message that will be viewed from above. Sign up now to make history with us by visiting www.nfb.org/gwr <http://www.nfb.org/gwr>. More details about this historic undertaking will be added as they are available!
