<DIV dir=ltr>I agree with Gary and Julie. I truly had a wonderful time and
enjoyed catching up with old friends, especially my long lost friend Lisa she
is in the Springfield chapter. I was honored to be asked to speak at the
convention I would like some feedback about how my speech went. Thanks Shelia
for all the planning. </DIV>

Reflection on Our Unforgettable NFB of Missouri Convention</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV class=WordSection1>
<P class=MsoNormal>Hey there, my wonderful colleagues and family! I just
wanted to share some warm thoughts and reflections on our NFB of Missouri
Convention. What an incredible experience it was! <O:P></O:P></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><O:P></O:P></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>From the moment we stepped into the hotel, we were
greeted with such friendliness and hospitality that it truly felt like the
finest of family reunions. The hotel staff went out of their way to make
our stay comfortable and enjoyable, and I can't help but feel the need to
personally commend them for their outstanding service. They helped me look
for an item that in fact was never lost, and they wouldn’t take a dime for
their work.<O:P></O:P></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><O:P></O:P></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Friday's diverse panels were not only informative but
also engaging and thought-provoking. The panelists shared their unique
experiences and wisdom, sparking some of the most heartfelt conversations
among us. It was beautiful to see everyone connecting and exchanging
ideas, and I was proud to be a part of all of it and to know that our
president is such a planner.<O:P></O:P></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><O:P></O:P></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>The board meeting on Thursday was the perfect way to
kick off the convention. It set the stage and the tone for the entire
event, ensuring that everything would be meaningful for all of
us.<O:P></O:P></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><O:P></O:P></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Each presentation during the general sessions stirred
something deep within me. Listening to the speakers share their personal
journeys, triumphs, and challenges was both inspiring and humbling. Their
words will undoubtedly stay with me and probably you as we continue our
own journeys, and I am so grateful for everyone’s willingness to share.
The convention agenda struck the perfect balance between our cherished
traditions and fresh, innovative ideas. This harmony allowed us to honor
where we've come from while also embracing the exciting possibilities
ahead of us.<O:P></O:P></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><O:P></O:P></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>As I left the convention, I couldn't help but feel a
profound sense of pride and gratitude for all the amazing volunteers who
have united in our cause. Despite having their own responsibilities,
they've dedicated their time and energy to something truly meaningful. I'm
reminded of how important it is for us to reach out and find even more
people who need our support, as well as those who want to join our
mission.<O:P></O:P></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><O:P></O:P></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>The NFB of Missouri Convention was a truly
unforgettable and heartwarming experience, and I can't wait to see what we
can achieve together moving forward. Sending you all my warmest thoughts
and appreciation! Let's keep up the great work!<O:P></O:P></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><O:P></O:P></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Love,<O:P></O:P></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><O:P></O:P></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Gary<O:P></O:P></P>
