Before the board meeting we had 23 members registered, now there are 40 members registered. Great job! But I know there are still more of you out there. Chapter and division presidents please encourage all your members to register. Remind them that it is free, but a donation is always welcome. You don’t want to miss this unique opportunity for a virtual convention. If your comfortable with gathering in person you can enjoy the convention with some of your Chapter members. If not then relax at home and enjoy it. Our own convention may be virtual , this will give you an idea how virtual conventions are run. Let’s break the record for NFBCT attendees!
