[nabs-l] informed choice

[Brian Wooten]

Hello,

I used hte informed choice option to leave Tennessee and attend the
Center in Louisiana.  The former Florida State President was there at
the same time as I was.  So I know it can be done. You may want to
contact her for advice.  Her name is kathy Davis.  Wonderful person to
speak with.

Good luck,
