[Nfb-idaho] Convention update for March 21, 2011

[Elsie Lamp]

Pre-Registrations for our convention are not as numerous as we would like.  Please NOTE” Registration was to be in by March 15 but we have extended until March 22. After that date the registration fee will be $12 per person.  Registration forms are available on our website.  I am also copying a form here.  
Also NOTE Change in time for Board Breakfast: the accurate time is 8:00AM.
We need all auction items into Gus or your Chapter president by March 22.  Door prizes *($10.00 minimum) and Raffle items are still needed.  Please bring them to the Hospitality suite at convention along with Auction items.  A list of most door prizes and raffle items to your chapter president will be greatly appreciated.  If you can get cash donors to sponsor our convention we would be most grateful!
