[CT-NFB] Sunday's Business Meeting

[Mary Silverberg]

Hello Everyone,
First, thank you Maryanne for an excellent convention and business
meeting.  This is no easy task and you met  all of the challenges!

Thank you Jim  McCollum.  Although I will miss your presence on the board,
Joe and  I look forward to our continued work with you on the Washington
Seminar and all year long.
You keep us informed on legislative matters and that  is vital to the work
we do.

Jim Cronin, thank you and your convention committee for  an excellent
lineup of informative and engaging guest speakers.

Nathanael, thank you for all of your work in preparing and  presenting our
scholarships.

Last, thank you to everyone who attended  and participated  to make our
annual convention a successful one!

Mary Silverberg
