[Nfbc-info] AUDIO FILES FROM THE 2009 CONVENTION ON THE NFBCAL.ORGWEB SITE

[Jim Barbour]

Hello Everyone,

First, let me say "you're welcome!" for both Brian and I.  We are so
glad that so many of you have enjoyed the posted convention
recordings.  We really enjoy putting making it happen for you.  If
anyone has any suggestions on how we can make it better, we'd love to
hear from you.

Pete, thanks for pointing out the broken links. I'll work with Brian
to get the bad links removed as soon as possible.  I agree they are
confusing.

The broken links point to the National Anthem and the NFB Pledge on
Saturday morning. However, You can hear the entire opening by
selecting the "invocation" link.  You'll here the call to order,
invocation, Rob's singing of the national anthem, the pledge of
allegiance and the NFB pledge.

We'll get the page fixed up later today.

Thanks Everyone,

Jim
