[Nfbf-l] Changing the Dates of the Convention

[Gloria Hicks]

Hi everyone,

There is a lot of passion in the Nfbf so much that I will broach another
subject which I am sure will bring out differences of opinions. On like
other thing this does not mean changing the Constitution, just a simple
vote.. I would like to see us change the dates of the state convention to
sometime in the winter. For the next five years the national convention will
take place in Florida. I believe that many Floridians will want to visit
that convention in July. It will make easier for us to change the weekend
that we have ours and also to raise the money to go to more than one. I
recommend the weekend that has Martin L King as a holiday on Monday. We
could also commemorate King as we do now with Memorial Day. What do you all
think.
