Because of the lateness of the hour, Robert proposed that we hold our
business over till next month. He thinks he can get our master gardener to
come and join us. We unanimously voted yes to his proposal.

 

Barbara wanted to be sure to let people know that her sister Lauren 

died on the 31st of May. There will be a Zoom service for her on the 

27th at 3:00 our time, 1:00 Pacific. There is a Caring Bridge page 

for her,  <http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/laurenmerryfield>

< <http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/laurenmerryfield>
http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/laurenmerryfield> . The specific 

information will be there.

 

Robert mentioned that he is stepping away from some of his NFB 

responsibilities to do other things.

 

Chris moved, Cheryl seconded, that we adjourn, which we did at 8:55 PM.

 

Respectfully submitted,

 

 

Linda Mentink, Secretary

 

Respectfully yours,

Robert Leslie Newman

NFBN Senior Division, President
