[NFBO-Linn-benton] Annual Business Meeting and Party and a few other things

[kjocums at icloud.com]

Hi All,

 

Shall we schedule our annual Party and Meeting?  We usually do this in
January and hope we choose a date without snow and ice.John and Carolyn, are
you willing to host again?

 

On another note, the first NFBO State Board Meeting with Stephanie as our
new President was held last night.  Stephanie is energized and is looking
for broad participation from everyone.  Don't hesitate to bring ideas and
efforts to her attention.

 

Save the Date:  Salem Seminar will happening March 8-10 this year.  Visits
to the Capitol will occur on Monday the 10th.  Affiliate Business and
Seminar Prep will occur on the8th and 9th.  The hotel is not yet negotiated,
but will be announced when a contract is entered into.

 

If you want to request assistance to National Convention, these requests are
traditionally sent in prior to the Salem Seminar so that a committee can
make recommendations for amounts to be awarded.  Please start to think about
attending another great convention in July now so that you can let the
committee know in March what assistance you are seeking and why it should be
provided to you.  In addition, if you will be attending your first National
Convention ever, you can apply for a Jernigan Award, which is a stipend
which can reduce the cost of the Convention for you.  You should apply for
this at nfb.org.

 

Finally, the State Board decided that Chapters will no longer need to send
part of their dues to the Affiliate.  This will reduce time consuming
accounting and let our Chapters keep a few more dollars in their own
treasuries.  Please remember to bring your $5 to our Annual Party and
Meeting so we can avoid processing charges for online payments.

 

 

Let us know about hosting, John and Carolyn!
