[NFBO-Springfield] November 2023 minutes

[Patricia Banaszak]

Thank you so much for this. I will read it on our way to Germany but I am
grateful that you sent it so we keep up with the different things that are
going on.   We will be back after the new year, but I have a favor to ask
of you.    I cannot find my list of the people that usually come to our
meetings and I would like to send them Christmas cards but the only address
I have is the one for you    If you have the other Christmas cards, can you
email them to me either email or by phone but emails probably the easiest
    I appreciate it. I hate not sending them cards but I cannot find the
paper I had that had all the names and numbers on and we are leaving in
about a half an hour so I have no time left to look for it.    If You can’t
do that it’s OK but then I ask that you just tell all of them that I doubly
lost the list but we are wishing them all a very merry Christmas
I am looking forward to doing more with the blind group this next year I
can tell I’m getting better and being able to remember more of what I do
and that’s important      You have a great Christmas and we will see you at
the next meeting in January.   We love picking you up because we had to
know you better, so enjoy the holidays and we’ll see you in about a mont.
    Pat Banaszak.
