Exciting times are coming in NFB conventions.  Keep these in mind as you plan your activities throughout the coming year.

The Semiannual NFB of Minnesota Convention will be in April or May 2011 at the NFB of Minnesota building in Minneapolis.  Members will received a letter with details about a month before the convention, and the letter will be on our website at www.nfbmn.org.

WE ARE CHANGING
WHAT IT MEANS
TO BE BLIND

Many people are involved in getting this issue to you. The writers can write and the editor can edit, but until the material is printed, brailled, recorded, and distributed, it is just a computer file. Therefore, we owe great thanks to the following people for the work they do in producing this publication.

Tim Aune duplicates the cassette tape edition and makes the master copy for the compact disc edition.
