Lol.</div><div>First and most important, is if you plan on running for office or voting in the January elections, please have your dues paid by December 31. You can pay your dues later, but you will not be able to run for office or vote in the January elections!</div><div>January will be a busy meeting for us. It will also be the beginning of a busy year for the NFB of Iowa in general. Lots of things will be happening over this upcoming year. Remember, that elections will be held at our January 11 meeting. If you plan on running for office, you might want to make sure that you have someone who can nominate you. I will let you all know that I do plan on running for president again. Therefore, I will not be able to nominate anyone. Also, remember that after our chapter meeting, we will be holding a baby shower for the newest addition to our chapter. Little. Enrique. Everyone have a warm and safe holiday. Remember as always, you can contact me at my information listed below. Happy holidays and looking forward to seeing all of you in the new year, and maybe some of you before.</div><div><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.
