[nfbmi-talk] We are having a board meeting tomorrow at 8:30 P.M.

[Elizabeth]

Hello Christine,

Thank you for your kind words. I did not mean to suggest that issues 
surrounding the Michigan Commission for the Blind are not important. I am 
just not sure if it should be the sole reason for our conference calls or 
our organization as a whole.

I really like your idea of holding some sort of fundraiser to help people 
attend national convention. I think it would be a great way to inject some 
positive energy into our organization.

Take care,
Elizabeth
