Everyone acted so professionally and also had a good time. You were quiet and respectful while the speakers were talking and truly seemed interested in what they had to say. I hope you enjoyed the exhibit room, we were fortune to have nearly 20 vendors this year. The vendors and speakers can be attributed to the hard work of our convention committee who I would like to thank again. They are Deb Reed, chairwoman, Beth Rival, Josephina Martinez, Shonda Rosetta, Marchele Davis, and Barbara Blejewski. I am grateful to have so many wonderful members in the Connecticut affiliate of the National Federation of the Blind!<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Best Regards,<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Maryanne Melley<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">President<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">National Federation of the Blind of Connecticut<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">860-212-5549<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">“Live the Life You Want”<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p></div></div></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><span>_______________________________________________</span><br><span>CT-NFB mailing list</span><br><span><a href="mailto:CT-NFB@nfbnet.org">CT-NFB@nfbnet.org</a></span><br><span><a href="http://nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/ct-nfb_nfbnet.org">http://nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/ct-nfb_nfbnet.org</a></span><br><span>To unsubscribe, change your list options or get your account info for CT-NFB:</span><br><span><a href="http://nfbnet.org/mailman/options/ct-nfb_nfbnet.org/elevegnale%40sbcglobal.net">http://nfbnet.org/mailman/options/ct-nfb_nfbnet.org/elevegnale%40sbcglobal.net</a></span><br></div></blockquote></div></body></html>
