[Nfb-idaho] News Updates

[Mary Ellen Halverson]

Hi Elsie,
Thanks so much for the update.  You're right, it 
sure was a mix of good and sad news.  Hope Larry 
is improving every day!  Please give him a hug for me!
Good job getting our new Central Idaho Chapter 
going.  I'm looking forward to meeting the new 
president and members.  Wonder if it would be 
more practical to have the 2012 convention in 
Twin rather than CDA?  It would definitely be more affordable.
Unless their chapter membership grows 
dramatically in the next year, I really think 
Russel and Stacy would understand.  Just an idea.
Take care and it was good to hear from you!
Love, Mary Ellen
