There was one activity that stood out incredibly, and that was our MIABS Annual Business Meeting!</p><p class=MsoNormal>To make this story nice and brief, we had a good turnout, Dues were collected, and elections were done. Well, I am delighted to say we have some new members that we elected into the MIABS Board! Let me therefore introduce you to the new board.</p><p class=MsoNormal>President : Jerusalem Crawley.</p><p class=MsoNormal>Vice President : Tiaira Mayes.</p><p class=MsoNormal>Secretary : Steven Crouch.</p><p class=MsoNormal>Treasurer : Hayley Laskowski.</p><p class=MsoNormal>At-Large Board 1 : Oguzcan Saygili.</p><p class=MsoNormal>And, At-Large Board 2 : Shaniece Milledge!</p><p class=MsoNormal>So, with that done and said, let me give you updates on what's happening with our MIABS Meetings. Our Meetings have now been switched from the Last Saturday of each month, to the second Friday of each Month. So, if my calculations and my Befuddled mind stand correct, MIABS will be holding a monthly Meeting on Friday, November 8, 2024 round 7:00 PM in the NFB of Michigan's Zoom Room. And as Usual, everybody is welcome to join, and ask questions about MIABS.</p><p class=MsoNormal>Well, I think that's all for now. Stay Wonderful, and have a Blessed Day.</p><p class=MsoNormal>PS. Congratulations to both Tiaira Mayes and Oguzcan Saygili for winning the Student Scholarships! And, a big absolute Kudos to Jerusalem Crawley for Representing the Student Division, and Finishing the Federation Fire Challenge!</p><p class=MsoNormal>Steven Crouch, Secretary of the Michigan Association of Blind Students of the NFB of Michigan.</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Zoom Link.</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>https://zoom.us/j/9612695221?pwd=dHlxZDNwcVVZbUVTYUM5cEU4cDlndz09 </p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Zoom ID: 9612695221</p><p class=MsoNormal>passcode: 902855.</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>To dial, use the following number.</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>1-646-876-9923</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Meeting Id: 9612695221</p><p class=MsoNormal>Passcode: 902855</p><p class=MsoNormal>Sent from <a href="https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=550986">Mail</a> for Windows</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
