<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">Hello Cincinnati NFB members,</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">I apologize for sending a message to the whole list which should actually only go to a few, but I</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"> <FONT FACE="Calibri">have limited time for doing anything on the laptop and can’t find a list</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"> <FONT FACE="Calibri">o</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">f the book club members.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">As I think most of you know, my femur suddenly snapped December 1, and I have been in the hospital since.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">I</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">t was quite a trauma to both body and mind, but the love from kind friends have helped tremendously in the whole recovery pr</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">ocess. </FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">I will not be able to put weight on my left leg for another 8 to 12 weeks, but I was introduced to a wheelchair yesterday, and have done tons of smiling while learning use it.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">The question that has arisen has to do with book club timing. </FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">Visitors and phone calls have been at least as essential as medication and nutrition in knitting my bod</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">y back together. </FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">(One of those visitors was Judy Rudig, and one of the phone calls Alan Lemly. I thank both of you from the bottom of my heart.) </FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">Tomorrow, I will be missing CABVI’s annual holiday party, which I always attend as a board trustee. I will be sad to miss it.</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">A little while ago, CABVI’s CEO John Mitchell called to ask if he and another board member or two could bring the party to me when it is over.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">I am thrilled and touched by this gesture, and of course I said yes. </FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">I am writing to ask if book club membe</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">rs would be willing to begin our meeting at 8:00 PM rather than 7:00 because of this unplanned visit. </FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">I will be very grateful if you can adjust your schedules accordingly. </FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">I hope all of you are having a wonderful Christmas sea</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">son. </FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">I will not, as you have certainly predicted, be attending the NFB chapter party on Saturday.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">I wish all of you a wonderful time together on that occasion</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri"> – and healthy bones as well!</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">Peace,</FONT></SPAN></P>
