Subject: [il-talk] Great Convention And Thank You

Hello federation family,
We just concluded a great convention in Bloomington Illinois. There are some 
people I just wanted to say thanks to for making it all happen. Of course, I 
want to thank our State President for her ability to organize and lead the 
convention. All of the speakers were great.  Thanks to Francisco Chang for 
the many Many ways you support Patti and the rest of us.
I wanted to say thanks to Ron Brown, the State President of Indiana and his 
wife Jean for being national reps to our convention.

Thanks to those people who helped with the door prizes. Nancy Gardner you 
are great. I appreciate your running around to all of the rooms, checking to 
make sure they are set up the way we want. And of course, i appreciate your 
help at the door prize table. I also want to thank Pam Gilmore for helping 
me with Brailling door prizes this year. Thank you Glenn Moore for getting 
me the registration list so I could Braille the names in advance. You made 
that part of my life easy. Finally, to the chapters and individuals who 
donated door prizes. Ferris Wheel, Four Rivers, Black Hawk, Chicago, 
Illinois Association Of Blind Merchants and Illinois Association Of Blind 
Students, thanks so much for your prizes. Thank you also goes to Dave and 
Teresa Meyer, Pam Gilmore, and Courtney Hummel and many many more for all of 
the prizes.
I also wanted to thank the public relations committee for getting out the 
word about the convention. Robert Hansen, I thank you for your willingness 
to use your platform to get out the word. And thank you for your door 
prizes.
Thank you so much Debbie Stein for building all of those lists of parents, 
kids, and teachers  so we can get them to convention.
Thank you also goes to Steve Hastalis for handling the shuttle to and from 
the hotel, and helping with the sound. Byron, you are so funny and 
absolutely wonderful in the way you handle our streaming and sound.
Cathy Randall, all of NFBI thanks you for bringing in all of that money to 
put on all of these various programs.
