[nfbmi-talk] Friday Trip to the MCB Board Meeting

[Roxanna Mann]

Hey, J.J.  I am meeting with some students tonight, just
informally, to discuss Thursday evening's NFB meeting and
Friday's Commission meeting.  We have a student who just
graduated who will be going with us on Friday, as well as
another student who is not onsite at the present.  I think
as of right now there are about 8-10 of us.  I will have a
final headcount hopefully by the end of the night.  I know
that I for sure would like a t-shirt.  I don't know about
any of the others, but I will ask.  I think fundages are a
problem for most of them.  You know how that goes.  I'll be
in touch.  Thanks for the email.  Oh, by the way, I emailed
and spoke with Ted Nugent's office today.  I would LOVE to
have him get involved.  Wouldn't that be a kick in the
pants?

> We're also considering protest T-Shirts for the meeting.
> They would be about $16 from Frayed in Kalamazoo. I
