FROM THE PRESIDENT'S DESK

Another year has simply flown by and it is time for our annual convention of the National Federation of the Blind of Kansas.

This year we are really branching out. We will be meeting at the Red Coach Inn at 2110 W. Crawford, Salina, KS 67401, telephone number is 1-800-332-0047. Our rates are a surprising $57 per night. We haven't seen that for a while.

Our program will be very exciting. Naturally, we will cover the normal agenda items concerning lives of blind Kansans. However, this year, we are bringing in items of interest such as self defense, health and exercise, financial planning, and home safety.

Please call the 800 number to make your reservation and we'll see you at the convention!

For a Frightfully Good Time. . . . .
