I am excited to share that I will be the headliner in Vegas. No, I will not
be singing but you will laugh as we discuss the challenges to effectively
breaking bread with colleagues and friends. 
The price for this elaborate buffet dinner is an all-inclusive $31 and the
menu is attached. If the attachment doesn't come through, there is a link to
the menu on the NFB of Illinois site listed below.

To attend, you must register online at the link. No walk ins will be
