[Nfbf-l] Donations in Johnnie's Honor

[Judith Hamilton]

Tinetta,
Thank you for sharing the service for Johnnie. Today was the Gainesville Chapter meeting and I also received the Presidential Release for November so I could play it at our meeting and Mark Riccobono announced Johnnie's passing. Donations to NFB Newsline are a wonderfull idea. Continued thoughts and prayers for the family and the chapter.
Best Regards,
Judy

>Sylvia, thanks for this. I would like permission to add NFBF Newsline if
>that's okay. Johnnie loved Newsline and was a hard worker in the Tallahassee

>Newsline, she will make sure they get to the right place. I hope this meets
