Qball1989 Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 So, I am sure this has been brout up several times. Buy our community should organize a national convention. Before I came to this website I would have never said that. Now, I am an AK/DL and proud. I want to meet others like myself. Link to comment
Zander Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Why? There are already a load of "munches" and other community events that go on which seem to satisfy the meet-up needs of the community, and aren't we really too small a niche for a convention? 1 Link to comment
Qball1989 Posted July 3, 2013 Author Share Posted July 3, 2013 Yea, I have never been able to find a munch in Minneapolis. And I want to meet others. Link to comment
Rachel Emily Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Whether the venue is large or small means nothing to me if I can't get to it. I'd prefer a small local gathering I can afford to travel to over a national event that I can't. Link to comment
Angela Bauer Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Did you know that a similar topic was started below on 25 June 2013? There is good information there you might find useful. Link to comment
Diapers446 Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 If you don't have a munch in your area put feeders out and start your own munch Link to comment
Little BabyDoll Christine Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 How do you do that and, since it appears to be a special kind of get-togehter, what does a munch consist of? Link to comment
Qball1989 Posted July 3, 2013 Author Share Posted July 3, 2013 Ok, I. See your points. I just thought it would be a good idea. Yea, I am at a convention right now, so that is why I thought of it. I am at the National Federation Of the blind convention In Orlando Florida. Link to comment

whisko Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 qball, are you blind or seeing-impaired? (hey, it's not an obvious answer, vendors and caterers go to conferences too :-P) if so, do you use any neat tricks or devices to get your computer to cooperate with your level of sight? Link to comment
Qball1989 Posted July 4, 2013 Author Share Posted July 4, 2013 I am blind, I say that because I use alternitive Techniques to do things. As far as using a computer I use voice over for the Mac. I also have an iPhone, Which is completely accessible for those who are blind. I actually can see a little but not too much. Link to comment
