[nfbmi-talk] Board Meeting August 16 2014 10:00 to 2:00 Agenda

[joe harcz Comcast]

One thing for sure Terry, Dave Robinson has worked tirelessly in the 
trenches withgoodwill and tireless assistance in new chapter development.

He has been indispensable to the formation of the Flint Area Chapter and its 
continue.

We still need lots of support.

But I really have to give a shout out to Dave for his past and ongoing 
efforts not only here, but elsewhere.
