[Home-on-the-Range] Fwd: 4 community resources...

[Rob Tabor]

Good morning Jayhawk Federationists,

I hope the last day of June finds you all well and still in good spirits. You will find forwarded a list of community resources which you might find useful.

As we prepare for our first ever online NFB national convention, Be sure to mark your calendar‘s for the rookie round up which will be conducted via Zoom on Tuesday, July 7 at 7:30 PM local time. The webinar will include vitally important information on the voting procedure, door prize management, state caucusing, and other elements of this first ever online convention. Announcements containing logon links and instructions will soon be coming to an inbox near you. Last but not least, the convention dates will be from July 14 through the 18th. In the meantime, be well and choose your risks wisely.
Best regards,
Rob
