<title>Our next meeting</title>
<!-- Converted from text/rtf format -->
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">Hello Cinci NFB members, </font></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">I had a lovely conversation with Jon, owner of the Washington Platform, a few weeks ago, and I have many pieces of good news to report. </font></span><span lang="en-us"> </span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">First, he and his staff love having the Federation hold our meetings at Washington Platform!</font></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">Secondly, they were just as concerned as we were about the escallating chaos. </font></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">From their perspective, it was difficult to serve us with some people coming early, sitting in</font></span><span lang="en-us"> <font face="Calibri">the bar, while other</font></span><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">s</font></span><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri"> went directly into the room. He agreed that taking orders for all of us at one time was a decidedly preferable approach! </font></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">So, our meeting will begin at 1:00 p.m.</font></span><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">, Saturday, January 24.</font></span><span lang="en-us"></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">Please arrive as close to that time as possible, and go directly into the room where we hold our meetings. </font></span><span lang="en-us"> </span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">At approximately 2:30, wait staff will come in to take our meal orders. </font></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">If we have not finished with business at that time, we’ll simply pause the agenda for the taking of orders and then resume when all have been placed. </font></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">Washington Platform staff have always been</font></span><span lang="en-us"> <font face="Calibri">welcoming and gracious to us, and I hope that this adjustment to the plan will be a dramatic improvement. </font></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">As you know, we voted last meeting to meet January 24 and February 28, both Saturdays, at Washington Platform, and to then re-examine our meeting plac</font></span><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">e and time. </font></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">I hope we will find this new schedule to be the perfect fit. </font></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">Finally, Jon has requested an approximate head count beforehand if possible, so if you could respond to this email or to Karr</font></span><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">en Innis’s call with confirmation of attendance, that would help. </font></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">I’ll then convey our estimated number to Washington Platform prior to the meeting. </font></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">Happy New Year to all of you and see you soon!</font></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">Deborah</font></span><span lang="en-us"></span></p>
