Or perhaps post them to a link on our web site, and maybe upload them to say 
"drop box"?

By the way I've been having some 401 page not found issues with the NFB MI 
web site today?

And can't seem to get to among other things our state resolutions.

Anyone have a working link to that page?

Best,

Joe
