A shuttle service to and from the French Quarter will be provided to hotel guests during the National Convention. The huge rooms on the third floor of the Poydras Tower will easily accommodate both the general sessions and our exhibits, as well as the banquet. The 1997 convention of the National Federation of the Blind should offer enough variety and enough space to make it the best ever. Remember that we need door prizes from state affiliates, local chapters, and individuals. Prizes should be relatively small in size and large in value.
Cash is always popular.
Drawings will be made steadily throughout the convention sessions. The 1996 grand prize in Anaheim was a thousand dollars in cash. The 1997 grand prize will be at least as good.
