streem when I wasn't there!  I ABS Idol rocked!  Among all the other 
activities!    Patti!  You have been a hard working and an inspirational 
president, and I wish you good luck in the future!  I know you'll still be 
around and involved with the NFBI!    And Denise!  What can I say!  I Knew 
you when, and look at you now!  You'll be a great President too, that will 
lead the NFBI into a wonderful future!  Fantastic job!    Sincerely, Linda

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!
