[Nebraska-Senior-Blind] NFBN Senior division April Meeting - Birding with Vision Loss

[Nancy Oltman]

Hi Robert,

In talking with Eli at the convention, he was interested in coming to
our Senior Division.  He indicated of course that he was not a senior,
but I told him it would be possible for him to come any way.

His email address is
eli.dallas.sidders at gmail.com

Please send him an invitation with the link.  Thanks.

Nancy
