[Massachusetts-NFB] Crowne Plaza Restaurant Menu and a special addition to our agenda

Wed Mar 25 21:17:56 UTC 2026

I didn't see an attached menu with the first e-mail on this.  I don't 
remember there being one attached to earlier convention-related 
messages.  Am I missing something?

Thanks!

Al
