[NFB-Idaho] Washington Seminar

[Donald Winiecki]

Dana,

I'm not sure I'm the best person to speak on behalf of members, but I am
happy to participate.

February 8-11 I have some unmovable appointments and classes, but there is
also time I can cut loose for the Washington Seminar:

Mon 8 Feb: 10AM - noon
Tue 9 Feb: 1:30PM - end of the day
Wed 10 Feb: 10AM - end of the day
Thu 11 Feb: 2:30PM - end of the day

Best,

_don 😷
