Friday Afternoon, October 20

Convention-goers came from near and far to the Minneapolis Marriott Northwest for the 2017 annual convention of the National Federation of the Blind of Minnesota. Most had preregistered online or by mail and were able to pick up their registration materials quickly and move on to other exciting convention activities.

Happy 2018! As you can see, this issue of the Minnesota Bulletin is about twice as long as usual. 2017 state convention was jam-packed with informative reports, inspiring speeches, thought-provoking essays, and powerful resolutions. I wanted to cover them all in a timely fashion and this seemed to be the best way to make that happen. I hope you enjoy this issue and please keep those articles coming!
