[IL-Talk] 2019 convention

[eileen Truschke]

 Yeah, it was nice to see folks that have not been at state conventions for years. The hotel staff was most helpful. As usual, IABS Idol was a load of fun. The banquet was great. General sessions were informative. Dan Wenzel is a fine speaker and swell leader. It was nice to have him at the convention. I hope he can come again in the future. 
Thank you for a wonderful convention. Since the NFBI state convention is the only convention I will be able to attend, I'm looking forward to being there every year anywhere the state convention is at. God bless he NFBI. Eileen T.

 Hello all,

It was a wonderful convention. All of us had a great time. If you missed it,
I hope you plan to be there next year.

 

There are so many wonderful people to thank for our convention success.
Patti and Francisco Chang (Gwendolyn Williams awardees) take care all of our
convention logistics, making us one of the most organized
conventions/conference anywhere. Amber, our part-time administrative
Assistant and Pat Olson kept registration moving. Debbie Stein handles our
parents and scholarship. Our 2d Vice President, Marilyn Green was positively
wonderful at door prizes and MC at the banquet, and a whole host of other
things. Pam Gillmore was also a big help to us with door prizes. We had a
new comer pitching in as a door prize runner, Juliet Walker.  Mary Grunwald
was everywhere, full of enthusiasm and just being her helpful self. Our
sound man, Marco G. rocks. 

The Meyers always come through in a pinch. Dustin Cather, the IABS 1st Vice
President really kept things going, and was very enthusiastic about the
convention.

These are just a few to whom I can say thanks so much for all you do. I
might be missing someone, but it's not intentional. Thank you so much as
well.

Finally, for those of you in attendance, if there is something we can
improve on, please e-mail me at davant1958 at gmail.com
<mailto:davant1958 at gmail.com> . We are always striving to do better, and
make the NFBI convention  a more learning and fun experience.
