You are cordially invited to attend the fifth Ohio Association of the Deaf-Blind Conference to be held on the weekend of September 18-20 that is conveniently located in central Ohio. Our theme for this year’s conference is “Outstanding Advocates for the Deaf-Blind.” This exciting three days and two nights conference will consist of presentations about advocacy presented by Randall Pope, our national leader. We will welcome back our two Past-Presidents who moved out of state, Nellie Pohymeyer and Mary Hale and they will talk about how they advocated in their new hometown. We will also eat good food and have some fun activities. We are looking forward in seeing and meeting you there to enjoy a spectacular time and learning experience with each other!!

In this letter, you will find attached forms to fill out for registration, one for Deaf-Blind Individual and the other for SSP.
