[NFBMI-Talk] NFBMI Fundraising Committee Meeting 1/03/25

[Sam Rau]

I unfortunately may not be able to attend this evening. Will there be a
recording or transcript or something for those of us who can't make it? I
will be there if the faits allow. This sounded like a really cool idea for
involving everyone and allowing them to realize there own level of
involvement regarding how they present the fundraiser etc; I'm sure it'll
be a big hit!
