<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">It has come to my attention that one of our Springfield members had a house fire at the end of February. Thankfully, the family was not hurt physically, but the family of three lost everything.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">As you begin packing for our upcoming state convention, please consider things that this family might need. If you have extras of things that you could donate, please bring those items with you. I am thinking
of things like band-aids, bath soap, Tylenol, Laundry items, warm socks, small kitchen items, etc. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">We will have a table set up to take these donations and make sure that the family gets them. The family consists of a husband, wife and an eight-year-old child.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">We will also accept cash donations to offer to the family.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Thank you for your generosity and for helping our fellow NFB family!
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
