hello cory and all,
I too want to express my sincere congratulations to the new board for nabs.
I'm glad that you came to convention this year cory and, that you found the
federation on a national level and, I hope to see you next year in Orlando.
as for not coming to Orlando I listened to the stream of the nabs seminar on
kjsco radio and, I thought that chris did a awesome job in doing the mc for
the event! chris you are awesome and definitely we will meet next year in
Orlando. so cudos to chris and, his awesome job!  I hope to meet many of you
on this list and, also in meeting you all in person next year at Washington
seminar or national convention. I'm here for you all! take care and, I will
talk to you all soon!



hugs always,
amy
