Transforming and unifying our future. I am so excited to announce that our affiliate will hold an in person banquet July 10, 2021 at 6pm at Peppercorn’s Grill in Hartford. 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! The accessible menu is attached. <u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Space in the private room is limited, so do not delay in reserving your seat. Please RSVP to Lucia so we can get an accurate count of who’s attending this year’s in person banquet. If you have federation friends who live outside of the state, they are also welcome to attend. Again, everyone is welcome! It’s time to transform and unify our futures, and we can only do this together!<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">If it will be too late for you to travel home after the banquet, please let me know, and I can help you find an affordable AirBNB or hotel in the area. My friends and I are staying at the Hilton hotel in Hartford. <u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">If you have any questions, please reach out to either myself, Maryanne Melley, or Lucia. <u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Help make this a national convention to remember, and Let’s grow stronger together!<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">The restaurant address is below.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Warmly.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Edward Shaham<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"> 860 597 3210 <u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="mailto:personal.edward@gmail.com" target="_blank">personal.edward@gmail.com</a><u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Peppercorn’s Grill<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://www.google.com/maps/search/357+Main+Street+Hartford+CT?entry=gmail&source=g">357 Main Street Hartford CT</a><u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p></div></div>_______________________________________________<br>
