[nfb-db] Congratulations!

[Janice Toothman]

This is the first step in a long road for us.

Sharon Maneki told me that what we need to do for next year in regard 
for the TSA resolution is to see if as many Deaf-Blind Federationists 
can sign up for  Pre-checking and what problems exits.  She was hopeful 
that it could be reworked for next year. She had thought that I would 
have spoken up in favor for the resolution.  However, due to the 
problems I was having with the FM system that Kurtis Chong had given me 
I did not clearly hear what the disagreements were from the floor on the 
general assembly, so I remained silent. But I truly appreciate all of 
Sharon Maneki's support with grammer and revisions fro the resolutions.

One thing that is clear.  We have to pay attention to our language and 
provide better background information and statistics.  I think we need 
to start working our resolutions and planning for the coming 
congressional year in January so we can be prepared to answer the 
Affiliate questions for cogently.

Did you attend the Division meeting? Did you make it to the guide dog 
meetings?

  I went to the first meeting but was unable to go to the second because 
Burnell and I got turned around returning from Walgreens and crossed the 
wrong street so by the time we got back it was 8:00PM on Wednesday and I 
didn't want to go in that late and have to hand Marion my FM system.  I 
was disappointed because I really would have wanted to vote in the 
elections.
