[Nebraska-Senior-Blind] Same dots not words! - RE: Senior Division Meeting Notice

[christineboone2 at gmail.com]

Robert:
You are exactly right and I am so glad you wrote this email. I wrote to Linda several weeks ago with the same information you sent, except I do not think I copied the line. I also think there was one other place where there were dots instead of words. 

Well, Miss Linda did not believe me. She decided I was right when I told her I thought I was developing Alzheimer's disease. LOL! 

OK, there are 2 places. Here is the note I sent to Linda on September 13th:

 Here they are: 
1. Cheryl read the September 12, 2022, ⠠⠞⠗⠂⠎⠥⠗⠻⠄⠎ (Treasurer's) Report. It will be made a part of the permanent financial record of the organization.
> > And; 
 2. Robert sent a note off to Vanda Pharmaceuticals. ⠠⠚⠢⠝⠊⠋⠻  (Jennifer) Lyman said that they will be having a meeting some time in October. 

Very Truly Yours, 
Chris Boone
