It is just a little over a week and I will get to see you. The convention committee has planned a fantastic state convention this year. The North-Central chapter is doing a wonderful job in supporting the state convention committee. So when you see them at convention be sure and THANK them for their hard work. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>If you haven’t filled out a preregistration form yet, there is still time. Just go to nfbks.org and you will find a link to the state convention registration form. Fill it out and e-mail it to <a href="mailto:treasurer@nfbks.org">treasurer@nfbks.org</a>. This is a big help to the state convention committee, in that it helps us to get a more accurate head count to give to the hotel for seating and meal preparation. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Speaking of food, you may want to know what we are having to eat at convention.
