[NFBK] Registration for the 2026 NFB of KY State Convention is Live!

[slery]

I just went to the registration page and want a little clarification.

There is no charge for the TAD symposium but there is a charge for the 
lunch?

There is a second lunch listed. Is that a lunch on Saturday?

Just double checking before proceeding to the next step.
