<p>I hope to join you all next year. I spent this convention in bed

<b>Subject:</b> [NFBMO] A Heartfelt Reflection on Our
Unforgettable NFB of Missouri Convention</span></p>
</div>

<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<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!
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </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.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </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.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </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.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </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.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </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.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </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!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Love,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
