This will be our first NFB in person banquet since 2019 and everyone is invited! We are fortunate to have a private room reserve just for NFB members. The owner is also allowing us to use the Wi-Fi to stream president Riccabono’s banquet speech while we dine on the most amazing Italian food you will ever experience!
