[James Aldrich]

Hi Mark,

This was sent to the convention planning meeting members.  This has all 
the contact information for our conference line.  You can determine 
where we are heading in the planning process.

At this time, we are putting the convention agenda together!  Please 
feel free to join the call as you see fit!

Thank you for reading!

Hello all!

This is a reminder of our weekly convention planning meeting which will 
be on our conference line at 6 PM MDT or 8 PM EDT. the conference number is:
 (605) 475–4000. The PIN code is 948731 number sign or pound.

Much of this meeting will deal with the convention agenda. this is what 
we have presently!

The convention will be called to order on Friday night October 25th at 
7 PM. After brief introductions, We will have our social, brain 
storming and get acquainted session. We need to figure out how we will 
refer to this item on our agenda. Will it be a pannel? Who will chair 
this pannel, or will this be an at large participant presentation. The 
resolutions committee will be appointed and will meet at 9 PM. This 
completes Friday night.

Saturday morning will begin when? We haven’t determined the starting 
time. The NFB MT Board begins the Saturday morning items on the agenda. 
From here, Beverly Berg of BLVS, Christie Briggs Of the Montana State 
Library, Ted Robbins from Montana Blind Enterprises Incorporated, 
Eleanor Carlson, Rocky Mountain Representative of the Hellen Keller 
National Center, Dan Burke and Julie Deedon from the Colorado Center 
and if time permits, a technology pannel. This is where one describes 
any new items which were recently purchased as a Victor Reader Stream 
second generation, The Script Talk or the ID Mate Quest etc! Most 
importantly, I look forward to hearing from our National 
Representative, Mark Riccobono, Director of the Jernigan Institute. I’m 
assuming a State Presidential Report will occur at the banquet! How 
should this be scheduled? How much time for lunch, breaks, and door 
prizes? This is the puzzle we need to put together so it really makes sense!

Sunday morning begins when? This is spill over day where we will take 
care of elections, resolutions, and anything else needing attention 
before we must adjourn by 12 PM.

I’m hoping to hear from you at the convention planning conference call!
