It was so great to be a part of that. To hear all the stories that everybody had to share and that we are all going through the same thing. I am going to try to join you today at one, even though I am at my training program, they said I could I just need to mute myself so you don’t hear what’s going on around me and I don’t interrupt anything. Again thank you thank you for all that you do and all your hard work and what you put together for us.</div><div><br><div dir="ltr">Sent from my iPhone</div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On Oct 19, 2021, at 6:40 PM, Bonnie Lucas via NFBofAlaska <nfbofalaska@nfbnet.org> wrote:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=us-ascii"><meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 15 (filtered medium)"><!--[if !mso]><style>v\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);}

There will be a new tidbit or two for everyone!
