[nfbmi-talk] Washington Seminar 2014 Information

[Christine Boone]

Wow, how awesome is it that J.J. and Larry were both writing to all of us about Washington Seminar at almost exactly the same time!  We are indeed fortunate to have such excellent leaders.  If you are on the fence about attending Washington Seminar, I can tell you that it is an unparalleled experience and truly the most rewarding thing I have ever done in the Federation.  You will be doing the work of our Federation, getting a glimpse of our Government at work that few Americans ever see; and having a wonderful time 
into the bargain!  

It does cost some bucks, but the old saw really is true that anything worth having is truly worth paying for!  

Warmest Regards to All, 

Christine

If you wish to receive affiliate assistance, I would ask that you plan to arrive by early afternoon on Monday and plan to leave no earlier than 5 PM on Wednesday. If you wish to attend the Students, parents, or other meetings, you'll want to arrive earlier.
