Hey NFB family and Friends,

Thank you everyone for your feedback on the Information you can use segment.
I will continue to send this weekly email on Sundays and the Information you
can use email on Wednesdays. Check your inboxes this week for both emails.
Thanks again for your feedback and please let me know what you, our members,
are interested in learning about from your fellow chapters, members and
committees.

I attended the Membership Committee Meeting today and came away with great
information! We have so many talented people in our membership, it always
seems crazy to me to keep reinventing the wheel when we have members and
chapters who have perfected the wheel and all of its components. So, please
let me know what you, as a member , are struggling with or have a question
about. Ask your question, I'll post it in this email and I'm sure your
fellow members/family will give you great advice!

Kudos Corner.

Who's gotten engaged or married? Who's having a baby or getting ready to
graduate? Just got a promotion or a new job? Helped in your community?
Anything and everything you celebrate , share with your NFBV Family in the
KudosCorner, we want to celebrate with you!

Spotlight On.
