2007 ICB Convention Flyer
FUN, EDUCATION, AND Just A GREAT TIME AWAIT YOU AT THE 2007 ICB CONVENTION
Would you like to see and buy the latest and greatest products for people who are blind or visually impaired? How about visiting old friends and making new ones? Or, do you just want to spend a beautiful fall weekend with some fun loving people?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, then the place you just have to be is at the 2007 Illinois Council of the Blind (ICB) state convention. The convention takes place from Friday, October 5 to Sunday, October 7 at the Holiday Inn City Centre, 500 Hamilton Avenue, Peoria, Illinois. Room rates are $69 plus 12% tax per night. You can make your hotel reservations by calling 309-674-2500 before September 18, 2007.
Get those reservations in early and watch for convention registration forms. If you are not sure you are in our database so yu’ll get a registration packet, and you want one which we know you do, contact our office at 866-850-1336 or icb@icbonline.org. You don’t want to miss what promises to be a fun and educational weekend. How have we come to travel as we do today with white cane, dog guide and other mobility devices? Come learn about the history of mobility for people who are blind or visually impaired in the very city where the white cane with red tip was invented. Take a chance and you just might win a wad of cash with the ICB 50/50 raffle. Is disability viewed differently in other parts of the world and how? ICB’s own Christie Gilson, a Doctoral Candidate at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign will tell us.
But, there’s more. Enjoy great food, entertainment and company as our 3-person DJ team spins your favorite music. Learn what’s happening with library services for people who are blind. And much more.
