[Nfb-lions] NFB Lions Meeting

[Mary Donahue]

    Hello Ramona,

    Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend the meeting because that is 
the same time that NABOP (the National Association of Blind Office 
Professionals) is meeting, and I am conducting a hands-on Braille 
proofreading workshop during the meeting. If you like, though, I will try to 
send you a report of what our group is doing. Most of the fund-raisers went 
toward the annual scholarships, but I can go in to some detail when I send 
you a report.

    This next year, I will be the fund-raising chairperson. I want to have a 
fund-raising meeting after I get back from convention and from visiting my 
parents. But I can send you a separate report. Perhaps at next year's 
convention, I can attend the NFB Lions meeting.

    Thanks for inviting me, anyway.

Mary Donahue
