<div> </div>
<div>I hope you are doing well after this week of interesting weather. Fortunately, we are almost to spring, which will bring us nice weather and uplifted spirits. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I had e-mailed Gary Allen several weeks ago, asking him if I could get the National Convention subsidy ahead of the convention. Without it, I will not be able to get my airline ticket. Gary said that it would be possible for an advanced subsidy. Since the subsidy has already been approved, would it be possible for you and Gary to get together about this, and send my subsidy as soon as possible. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I guarantee that I will be attending all of the sessions and as many meetings as I can. I look forward to going to the convention in order to catch up on the issues, to meet up with many friends who have moved from Connecticut and, of course, to hear our wonderful leaders. My income does not allow for me to buy a plane ticket plus save for the other expenses of the convention. While I am preparing for the room and meals, the plane ticket is important to start shopping for soon. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I would appreciate this favor and exception. I don't have the internet at home, so if you need to speak with me, my cell phone number is 860 801-2008. I always answer my phone unless I am at work, sleeping, or at church. </div>

<div>My address is: </div>
<div>Carol Lemieux</div>

<div>Southington, CT 06489</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks in advance for your consideration. I know my participation has declined in the past year or so because of work, but I am a true Federationist at heart, and always will be. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Regards,</div>
<div>Carol Lemieux</div>
