[il-talk] Hello & a Request!

Dear Ronza,
We are all sorry to hear that you have been ill of late and have even had to have surgery. I hope you will be up and around soon. But in order to make this happen, you have to take good care of yourself. Your federation family in Illinois is already sending you good energy, thoughts and prayers.

President, National Federation Of The Blind Of Illinois
Live the life you want
