Congratulations Cathy! Don’t forget that for the rest of us, NFBGL is reimbursing your $20 luncheon ticket so please make sure to let me know when you have sent in your money to attend and we’ll make sure to reimburse you at the convention.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I also wanted to thank those of you who came out for the NFBGL event at the Kentucky School for the Blind last night. We had a great time hanging out with the students. We shared with them information about scholarships, training centers, summer programs, conventions and more. We gave them our USB wristbands and they really seemed to enjoy those. We also walked around and talked with several of the students to get to know them. It was a great night. I appreciate those of you who came out. I know it may not have been the most fun or informative meeting for some, but it was an important outreach event and by being there you were doing your part in showing those kids what NFB is all about. I hope some of you are planning to attend the White Cane Day events at Fourth Street Live on October 15<sup>th</sup>. If you’d like to meet me there I’d love to have you sit with me at the NFBGL table. Just let me know!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thanks!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Melanie<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Cambria","serif";color:#595959'><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Bradley Hand ITC";color:#403152'>Melanie Peskoe<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Bradley Hand ITC";color:#403152'>Affordable </span></b><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Bradley Hand ITC";color:red'>Avon</span></b><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Bradley Hand ITC";color:#403152'> products with direct national shipping!<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Bradley Hand ITC";color:#403152'><a href="http://www.beautywithmel.com">www.beautywithmel.com</a> <o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial Narrow","sans-serif"'>Vehicle Donations Take the Blind Further <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial Narrow","sans-serif"'>Donate your car to benefit the National Federation of the Blind today!<i><o:p></o:p></i></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial Narrow","sans-serif"'>For more information, please visit: http://</span><a href="http://www.carshelpingtheblind.org/"><span style='font-family:"Arial Narrow","sans-serif"'>www.carshelpingtheblind.org</span></a> <span style='font-family:"Arial Narrow","sans-serif"'>or call 1-855-659-9314<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
