Friday night will feature live music from our own Justin Bonner and his band The Blend, as well as our fundraising auction and gift baskets. We are planning a luncheon for students and young adults, and a meeting for parents of blind children. The convention will conclude with our banquet, featuring Sheila Wright, as our national board member, and our 2023 scholarship class.
