[Nfbmt] Git along, little dogies

[James Aldrich]

Hey Joy and all,

If possible, could that brochure go online for all to read as well?  
I'm sure it is a good one and I'm willing to bet it would make for good 
online reading if it isn't there already!  Meanwhile, I agree!  Let's 
get them out!

Jim

> There I go again.  It must be Pick on Rik week.  Sorry, old buddy old pal.
> Aren't you glad you came back to the list?  You're still here, aren't you?
> Please don't go away again.  I didn't mean it, honest.  I was just funning

> when you register for your convention and your banquet ticket online.
> Otherwise you won't get your thank you email with your confirmation, and

> So, let's kick it up a notch and put it out of neutral and get it in gear

> bigger and better every year, right?  Unless we sit on our hands and don't
> do anything now, in which case it will lose momentum and fizzle and go to
> the repository of great conventions-that-could-have-been-but-never-were,
> wherever that is.  I don't know, is it hot there?  Do I wanna know?
