As a board member of the NFBMD, Sharon Maneki has asked me to pass along the following information to all of you regarding convention.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>First, there will be a gathering for first time convention attendees on Friday, October 28, at 9:30 AM in room A. If you are a first timer, or know someone who is, please attend this gathering, or encourage the first timers you know to attend. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Second, if you purchased tickets to Pizza and a Play, please make sure you pick up your registration packets on Friday, October 28, between 1:30 and 5. (Registration lasts until 6, but since Pizza and a Play begins at 5, you will want to pick up your registration packet before that time.) We will be collecting tickets for Pizza and a Play, and your tickets will be in your registration packet… Thus the need to pick up your packet on Friday before 5 PM!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I do not seem to have the email addresses for the At Large Chapter list or the TLC Chapter list.
