<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Friends,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The NFB of Maryland Convention is coming up in less than two months. Anil Lewis and I are working to drum up exhibitors and sponsors but we need your help. Attached are exhibit/sponsor documents. Please do your part to encourage businesses
to sponsor the convention. This is an important opportunity for us to increase exposure for the affiliate and support the convention.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Additionally, we need some interested members who want to work more closely on this at the convention by assisting in the exhibit hall and in the future by heading up the sponsor/exhibitor effort. If you are interested, please let us know.
We are always here to help but Anil and I have very heavy Federation travel schedules this fall so we need all the support we can get.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you have any questions, please reach out to Anil or myself.<o:p></o:p></p>
