For those of you who have not… SHAME! Please for the love of Pete (who’s that?) go and register for the NFBV State Convention. The cost of preregistration is $15. IF you are a student, the lunch for the business meeting is $7. If you are not attending the student lunch, the boxed lunches are $18. Banquet tickets are currently $35. There is also the etiquette dinner which is $5 to register for. Please register as soon as possible because these prices are only good until October 12. After that date, the prices will go up. I look forward to connecting with all of you in Falls Church.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>To register, visit <a href="http://www.nfbv.org">www.nfbv.org</a> and look for the information on our 2017 state convention. This will take you to the page you need for registration information. You can register online or via phone and all the information you need is on there. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Best Regards<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=FR style='font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif'>Robert E.
