[CT-NFB] At Large Chapter Conference Call

[James Cronin]

Greetings To All,

Welcome everyone to our regularly scheduled AT Large conference call
this Wednesday, September, 20th, 2023 at 7:30 pm Eastern.

I have spoken to all our active chapter members regarding my stepping
down as president of the At Large Chapter to devote more of my
energies building the New Sothwest district of the NFB of CT. I will
remain an active member of the At Large Chapter, but not as president.

I am happy to asign Allison Arbuckle as intern president of the At
Large Chapter. Her credentials are impecable. I have known Allison
personally for the past two years. She and I traveled and took part in
this year's Washington Seminar as well as toured the Nation's  Capitol
together. She's been at two NFB of CT state conventions and teemed up
with Judy Potter providing entertainment at the 2022 convention in
Rocky Hill. She also volunteered to be on this year's Convention
Committee helpin secure the Holiday Inn as our convention site. She is
married to Rob Arbuckle and is mother of a teenage boy and girl whom
are both visually impaired. She is a pro-active mom advacating for her
son and daughter so
they receive the same education as others.

Allison will maintain the post of intern president until March 2025
when elections for new officers and board members take place.


The conference call number is the same as usual: Dial  1- 425- 436-
6349, Access Code 223- 2614#

Members will have a chance to talk about what they did or didn't do
over the summer break.

It has been a pleasure and honor serving as president all these yesrs
as I've got to know many of you as family. I trust you'll show Allison
the same love and kindness as you have shown me. That I'm certain of.
God Bless you all. And, let's go build the NFB of Connecticut!

Sincerely,

Jim Cronin
