[Nfbf-l] NFBF 2014 Cruisevention Cancelled

[Tarapprakash]

The interest of the inclusive spirit that nfb speaks for, cancellation of this cruise convention is good. Thankfully, after so many months 2013 has finally been mentioned if Dan's email. If you look into the archives of this list, it appears that next convention will be in 2014.
