[Nfb-krafters-korner] membership

Thu Jul 28 05:08:58 UTC 2011

Gail,

You may not have received a treasurer's report personally, but they are
given at the meeting at convention. I'm sorry that you cannot attend the
meeting where this was presented, but do not say that there is no
accountability when the people attending these meetings vote on accepting
the report.

I do not have any financial data so I cannot send you the report that was
given. Please send me an email off-list if you do not get a report and I
will try to make sure a copy is sent to you.

Cindy S.
