I was focused on getting the people called that I knew had signed up to attend. And the email slipped through the cracks. I do apologize for inconveniencing anyone. We will not try to do anything pertaining to a party until spring after the bad weather has passed so that we don’t have the same issue that we had last year.<br id="lineBreakAtBeginningOfSignature"><div dir="ltr"><div class="x-apple-outlook-blockquote"><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0in 0.5in;"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Becky Young, President<br>National Federation of the Blind of Iowa, Des Moines chapter <br>Phone: <span dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: underline;">515-553-9270</span><br><a href="mailto:byoung@nfbi.org">Email</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt;"><font color="#ffffff"><span style="caret-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><a href="http://www.nfbi.org/"><i>Website</i></a><i> <br>Live the life you want.<o:p></o:p></i></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt;"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">The National Federation of the Blind of Iowa is a community of members and friends who believe in the hopes and dreams of the nation’s blind.
