[NFBF-L] WiFi @ National

[Diana Alves de Oliveira]

Madame president, this is really very expensive. Thank God I have T-Mobile that will supply my Internet needs. But the national office should consider all these extra expenses when they choose a venue for our national convention. This place is much too expensive! I am going because I have some goals to achieve for our chapter. And, of course, I don’t like to miss the national convention for the motivation aspect of it. But this is just too much. Please convey this to the national office. It just becomes an affordable for the average member. What is the national office try to compass with this? It seems to me that they are more focused on the more affluent members, forgetting that most of us don’t have the means to afford this kind of deal. I trust you, and your connections with the national office to speak up In our behalf. Thank you Madame president for your attention to this matter.
