[il-talk] Washington Seminar

[davant1958 at gmail.com]

	Hello all,
It's good to see that all of our Washington seminar attendees have made it
back to Chicago safe and sound, and yes, warm. I want to thank all of you
who went to Washington Seminar this year, as well as those of you who
organized and tracked our appointments. I want to thank Marilyn Green for
her efforts in leading the team, and all those who went to the Hill and met
with our representatives and/or their staffers. Washington seminar is truly
a team effort. Legislative advocacy is important to securing the rights of
blind people to live the lives they want. For those of us who did not
attend, we await Marilyn's e-mails on when we can get out and contact our
representatives on our legislative initiatives. Thanks so much for all you
all did and continue to do.

Greetings fellow federationists,

You WS19 team has returned to the arctic chill of Illinois. I believe that
our time on Capitol Hill was productive and we hope to build relationships
with our new members of Congress and maintain relationships with senior
legislators.

I would like to express my true gratitude to a great team of people who
showed up for every training and every appointmet and made Illinois and our
national organization look great.

A special thank you to Bob Gardner and Dave Meyer for setting our
appointments. Thanks to Bob for updating our appointmens and making a
schedule that worked for our team.

I am truly humbled to be a part of this great organization.

With gratitude and joy,

Marilyn
