Denise, I second everything that you said. It was the best Illinois State 
convention ever! Thank you Patti for all your years of service and 
dedication as past state president.Denise, I know you will do a fine job 
picking up where Patti left off. A big thank you goes out to the people who 
work behind the scenes. Ever Lee Hairston did a fine job on her speech at 
the banquet last night. NFBI ROCKS!
