Spring is here and with that comes, as promised, the first open NFBOK open Board meeting and affiliate work day. I know that I am excited and look forward to being together with as many of you as possible. As noted at the recent NFBOK convention in April, the Board meeting and affiliate work day will be Saturday, May 18, from 10:00-4:00. The meeting will be at the Holiday Inn North located at 6200 N. Robinson in Oklahoma City. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The Board meeting will take approximately one hour and the rest of the day will be spent on planning our efforts in the months to come and in spending time together as a Federation family. Please come prepared to participate! Lunch will be provided but we are asking that everyone attending contribute $5 to defray the cost of pizza, salad, water and sodas for the day. If you plan on attending please contact Glenda Farnum to confirm that you are indeed coming and that you would like to eat so that we can plan accordingly. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Glenda Farnum<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>405-255-6482<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="mailto:gfarnum5474@gmail.com">gfarnum5474@gmail.com</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>If you are an affiliate, chapter or division board member your attendance is particularly appreciated as we have lots of work to accomplish together.
