The hotel will serve complimentary breakfasts on Saturday and Sunday morning. The State Convention of the National Federation of the Blind of Louisiana promises to be a splendid one for 2000. Everyone should plan to be there and be sure to bring a new member. Following is a brief description of the weekend's events.
Delicious food is planned for all Federationists who register for the convention.
The national representative from the National Federation of the Blind will be on hand, and many other interesting speakers will also speak on subjects pertinent for all blind high school and college students. Again, the ubiquitous national representative will speak to the gathering, and many other informative speakers will be on hand to discuss matters concerning parents of blind children. Following these meetings, the annual auction will begin. Auctioneer Jerry Whittle seeks auction items of every description, and chapter presidents should encourage members to bring auction items. Rumor has it that we already have a jersey from the New Orleans Saints, and we have also received many autographed memorabilia from celebrities such as Mike Ditka and Kathy Lee Gifford.
