[Nfbf-l] 2011 NFBF state convention is now history

[Lenora J. Marten]

I have to say that this was one of the best NFBF conventions ever!
NFBF, Pinellas Chapter, Debbie, Chuck, Jim, all of you did so much
to make the convention as smooth as possible. The goodie bags, 
hospitality suite, snacks for daycare were above and beyond
what anyone expected. Our families were very appreciative and
thankful. You're right, every time I saw Martha she was talking
and listening. Anil even took the time to stop in and talk to parents
during one of the workshops as well as the hospitality room. The 
hotel was wonderful with a staff that was courteous and helpful.
I'm definitely looking forward to the next time in St. Petersberg!

Thank you to the NFBFL and the Pinellas Chapter members for all their hard
work in putting on a great convention!  I want to thank Dwight &  Austin, &
family for holding on to those sunglasses for me.  I did not realize that I
had lost them until I started looking for them.  Just figured I had dropped
them in the bottom of one of my tote bags and as someone in the audience in
banquet or business session pointed out, whoever lost them would realize it
when they went outside. LOL!  I figured if I managed to find you guys
before leaving the hotel, these probably were mine; and as it miraculously
turned out, you were parked right next to my friends' van in the hotel
parking lot.   Thank you, again.  Hope everyone got home safely and had a
chance to rest.  Great job to all!
