The following recipe comes to us from longtime Federationist Brad Hodges

Greetings from the Mountain State:
 
    Many of you on this list have plans to attend the 2013 Banquet in
Orlando on Saturday July 6. Unhappily a number of us are not going to be
able to attend in person this year. While admittedly feeling a bit sorry for
myself it occurred to me that with a minimum of difficulty we could create
our own Virtual Banquet here in Huntington. Here is the recipe I intend to
follow.
 
 Ingredients
 1 large pan of lasagna
 1 big green salad
 lots of fresh  garlic bred
 1 easy to make desert
 6 to 10 enthusiastic Federationists and neighbors
 1 or more bottles of good wine and as many pots of my husbands outstanding
coffee
 1 audio stream of the Banquet
 
 Method
 1. Send husband with van to pick up guests.
 2. on a living room stereo connect to the NFB Convention audio stream.
 3. In a large dining room combine first 6 ingredients.
 4. For at least 3 hours enjoy good food, good Federation fellowship and be
inspired by the words of President Maurer.
 5. Return guests to their homes nourished in body and renewed in spirit.
 
 With so many ways to enjoy streaming audio, I am sure that there are as
many variations on this recipe as there are chapters and individuals who
might be encouraged or inspired by their own Virtual Banquet.
