[NFBF-L] Convention Highlights!

[Scott Wilson]

It is great to see the participation from the students in developing FABS and reviving it. Congratulations to all of the new board members of FABS and most importantly the students. As you reach for your dreams and further your education, you are helping to build a support team to guide and assist not only you but those who follow in your footsteps. There are plenty of past students and passed FABS members to assist you in developing a fully working division once again. And I’m sure you have the full support of the complete affiliate board and congratulations once again and great job! members.

>> Hello!
>> We are so excited to announce that FABS is officially a division of the NFB!!!!!
>> On Saturday at the student business meeting, we held elections and collected dues from everyone who were interested in becoming official members. During elections, we voted that Jannik was President, Z'Leah was Vice President, Meli was treasurer, and Sewar was secretary. Congrats to all!
>> Our meetings will be held on the third Sunday of each month at 6pm (Next meeting for October is the 17th so be there or be square!). Also at the convention, we hosted a fundraiser table where we sold Crispy Cream and Publix donuts along with a 50/50 raffle. Thank you to all who contributed to that as well! Because of you, we were able to successfully sell all 6 dozen donuts and were able to complete our 50/50 raffle in one day! Congratulations to our 50/50 winner!
>> I think it is pretty safe to say that our new board is excited to get to work and begin to "Live the Life We Want!" and to form a new family with all of the affiliates!
>> I'd also like to put out a huge congratulations to the new board members of the National Federation of the Blind of Florida with Paul Martinez as president and Jorge Hernandez as Vice President, and to all the 2021 Scholarship recipients this year!
>> This convention was a memorable one and I personally can't wait to do it again next year!
>> Hope that everyone has a great rest of their weeks!
