[Robert Earl Parsons]

Greetings fellow students!

As Spring comes into full swing and the pollen plots to make its visit, the wildflowers of Federation programming is coming into bloom. Take some time to check out this letter our affiliate received from the Flint City Council following the visit our state Youth and Family Committee chairs and Flint chapter leaders made to walkthrough our upcoming NFBMI REAL program. A huge thanks to Dr. Ladel Lewis, Tara Morgan, Sheila Fulmore, Leo Naypier, Felecia Bradford, and our committee members at large for all of their incredible, cohesive work to pull this program together. For more information on getting involved in our state programs and events, please take some time to attend our committee meetings throughout the months that are advertised on this list. We'd love to have you.

With Gratitude,

During your recent visit you were able to receive a thorough tour of the potential host hotel, our newly remodeled Flint Public Library and our thriving.
