[Colorado-Talk] Supporting and Learning From Our Neighbors to the North

[kevan at nfbco.org]

Howdy folks,

 

We in Colorado and Utah and Kansas and Nebraska and Montana, all over the
Rocky Mountain West and across the plains have a reputation of supporting
our sister affiliate in Wyoming. Bri Berquam is the young and highly
energetic President of NFBWY. You will see that she has put together an
incredible informative, entertaining agenda for the NFB of WY State
Convention. The convention is tomorrow, October 17. Let's show a little love
and pop in for an agenda item or two. Or maybe, stay all day. I'm going to.
Paul Sandoval is doing some tech talk. Have you ever heard National Board
Member John Fritz, our brother from Wisconsin present at a convention?
National Sports and Rec Division Jessica Beecham will offer her charm,
wisdom, and energy late in the afternoon about sports and rec. There are
many other items you will enjoy. So, check out this great agenda and listen
in from time to time. And, let's go build the National Federation of the
Blind of Wyoming!
