Greetings, fellow federationists,<br>
I want to offer my sincere thanks to everyone who has pre-registered for
convention and to all those who are working to bring this event together.
We'll be meeting in just five days, andin addition to being nervousI’m
getting excited! If you haven't booked your room or pre-registered, and
you are still looking to do so, please email me as soon as possible.<br>
A few reminders as the convention approaches:<br>
<br>
The bake auction is one of our largest fundraisers, and we need your help
to make it a success. If you want to contribute homemade food to the bake
auction, be it baked goods, home-canned foods, snack mixes, or something
else, you have just a few days left to prepare.<br>
You should bring your offering to the bake auction table on Saturday
morning, but even before you do that, you should contact Charlotte
Czarnekki, bake auction coordinator, at
<a href="mailto:charlotte.renee1972@gmail.com">
charlotte.renee1972@gmail.com</a> and tell her what you’re planning to
bring. We will also find it extremely helpful if you place a Braille
label on your item describing what it is, andparticularly necessary this
yearif your item contains nuts.<br>
If you have door prizes to contribute, you can bring them to the door
prize table before the start of general session. This year promises to
have a good selection of prizes for you to win, but only if you’re in the
room.<br>
Aira, who is sponsoring our convention, is designating our hotel as a
site access location, which means anyone, whether they are a subscriber
or not, can use Aira for free while at the hotel. If you are interested
in trying the service, I encourage you to download the Aira app on your
iPhone and give it a shot. We appreciate Aira for their sponsorship and
for making the service available to all in attendance at our
convention.<br>
I look forward to seeing you all in just a few short weeks. This is going
to be a great convention.<br>
Warmly,<br>
Ryan<br>
<br>
