[Akron-Talk] updates

[Dave Bertsch]

Hi everyone. There is a new voice box message, but here are some notes.

Happy birthday to Ken Maher, and we hope you are doing a lot better. Hope to see you soon.

Some of us will be in Las Vegas this week so wish us well, and we will bring back some great stories and ideas we can put into practice. You can LIVE STREAM the sessions and the Friday evening banquet with all the speeches, by finding NFB.org/livestream

Our Picnic is Friday July 19. We will be doing a dry run this week to make sure bus service drops everyone at the correct spot, and we will send address and details several times to everyone before the picnic. We also have a volunteer to play taxi, in case anybody gets stuck somewhere or even at the main road, and needs a lift up the park's driveway.

If you did not pay your 2019 through 2020 dues at the last meeting, please bring them to the picnic. We had 14 members renew their membership and pay their dues last month-fantastic! I will have membership coins as well for those who did not yet get one.

If you are bringing a driver or a guest remember they are asked to pitch in five dollars toward the food. Members who pledged to bring specific food items are taken care of, but all others please bring $5, or more if they would like to donate to the group. If you want to bring an item, we have a list of food items already pledged, so give us a call.

We will bring bottled water but if you have a favorite beverage feel free to bring it. Mary we will have your Pepsi ready for you!

I ran into an old contact who has a promotions company, and they can do wristbands. We will arrange for him to attend our next meeting with samples.

We have a Fundraiser set now, at Beef O'Brady's in Stow. I'll share the details later, but it sounds like a terrific fundraiser and way for us to get the word out. It will be in October so we have plenty of time to plan and work on other things as well.

Let's remember Kiana this week as she will have surgery on Friday.

Time for me to go through the convention agenda. It's like ten pages a day, so we have to really plan the days out there. Remember the live stream, happy birthday to Ken, safe travels to us all, and everyone have an awesome week!

Dave
