[Nfbmo] January Board Meeting

 Hello everyone, there doesn't seem to be a date that will fit everyone's schedule. I'm available the third 10th or 17th. There will be seminars before the Washington seminar starting Saturday the 24th and those going to Washington do not return until January 29 late or possibly even the 30th. Before anyone thinks about the first weekend in February,which would be February 7 is the weekend right before the Jefferson City legislative seminar. Please keep this in mind as when we have had board meetings immediately before the Jeff city seminar, participation in Jefferson City has been very light. Just wanted to throw my two cents in. Hope you all are doingwell. Sheila
