This convention will feature new special events, including aerobic dance and bocci ball provided by the Northwest Association for Blind Athletes and birding by ear directed by our own Al Schneider and other local birders. We will have a vendor expo featuring technology and other interesting exhibits.
Speakers will present on topics including progress toward private and independent mail-in voting in Idaho, drug safety and labeling, changes to the Able Act, updates from agencies serving the blind in Idaho, and presentations from our members on travel, guide dog schools, and other inspirational topics.
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.
