[nfbmi-talk] Assistance for State Convention

[J.J. Meddaugh]

Kathy,

Here's the page with convention information.


http://www.nfbmi.org/convention


Registration and banquet ticket would total $50 if registering within 
the next week. That is the only cost other than other meals, such as lunch.

I'll let Larry follow up regarding possible financial assistance. 
Attending the convention could definitely be a life-changing experience 
for her and I hope they are able to come.
