[NFBF-L] Deaf Blind Division Meeting, Important nominations for officers and board

[MARILYN BALDWIN]

Thank you Brian for your response. Mothers Day is not a good time to have this meeting. I suggest that we meet on another day as soon as possible. This holiday is a family time, let us honor that tradition.
