[IL-Talk] Congratulations!

[eileen Truschke]

It was, indeed, a fine convention. Being in Zoom land wasn’t bad. I would like to see us continue to carry the convention on Zoom in the future because some folks are not able to afford to stay at the hotel. Congratulations to all who got elected to or were reelected to the NFBI board. Also,  congratulations to the scholarship winners. Let’s hope that they get more involved in NFB. By the way, what flavor pie was thrown on Saturday evening?
