[nFBMI-Talk] Michigan caucus at national convention

[evelyn weckerly]

Thanks so much, Mike and everyone else.  It seems like only 
yesterday that I attended my first full convention-1966.  I made 
my first acquaintance with the NFB at the 1962 Detroit 
convention.  A friend insisted that Iattend the banquet and hear 
Dr.  tenBroek.  At the time, I didn't really understand much of 
what he was talking about.  I met other leaders, attended Dr.  
Isabel Grants annual blind teachers' lunchoen, and later listened 
to a recording of that convention and the 1964 and 1965 
conventions.  These showed me that blind people really knew how 
to run a dynamic organization of the blind.  The rest, as they 
say, is history.

Cordially,

Evelyn

Hi, Michael and all,

I'd like to wish all of you attending the NFB convention a highly
informative and inspirational convention.  I wish I could be
there with you, but I can't.  A serious illness a month before
last year's convention caused me to miss that one, and I still do
not have the stamina to attend this one.  Cordially,

Evelyn

Greetings to those planning to attend our National convention in
Orlando the
week of July 3, to July 8.  We have been given a room to have our
Michigan
caucus.  This gives all who are attending the convention from
Michigan a
chance to get together in one place so I, as president, can
personally
welcome each one of you and share any information that you may
need to know
before general convention sessions get started.  It is also a
time for our
delegation to visit in a more intimate setting.  Anyone who has
special ties
to Michigan, or were once members of our affiliate who still keep
in touch
with us on this list serve are also invited to attend our
Michigan caucus.

This will give us the opportunity to welcome and personally
congratulate
Jeff Hunphrey, our national student scholarship winner.



Our caucus will be on Tuesday, July 3, at 9:00 PM in Wekiwa 9.
Those who
will be attending the rookie roundup, that starts at 8 PM, can
still come to
our caucus when your meeting is over as we will still be there.
Those
receiving a stipend to assist with convention expenses, or  any
other
materials that I need to pass on to you directly, should
definitely attend
our caucus.

please pass this on to anyone you may know who may not have
access to this
message.

I am definitely excited to be with all of you at our national
convention and
our Michigan caucus.

So join with me in helping to make it the best ever.
