Eric has graciously volunteered to write our 2021 version which is due to the gavel awards committee by October 1. So our meeting date and discussion does not give him much time to complete the report.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The purpose of the report is to give account of the various NFBO chapters and divisions to the state affiliate. I forwarded our 2019 submission to Eric since I did not submit a 2020 gavel report for 2020. When we do not submit a completed report to the awards committee, the president or designee submits a narrative of the activities for the past year to President Payne. Narratives do not go to the awards committee. Our gavel year runs from October 1 through September 30. From now on, I would like to update gavel information from each chapter member throughout the year, not merely at the meeting or two before the due date.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>So please pay particular attention to questions 1-4, 7 and 8 to contribute your involvement for and with the goals of the Federation. Crystal, thanks for the information for all parts of question 6. I hope to meet in person on Saturday, September 18, at 10:00 AM, though I will send an email soon that will tell where we will meet. Dan is still helping me to work out that detail.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Debbie<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
