[nfbwatlk] Washington Seminar Representation for 2009

[Kay Burrows]

Your clarification is probably a good thing, but I never felt that you were
trying to make it a one man show, or that others were forbidden from going.
Money is so tight, and I am sure others understood what you were trying to
say instead of what you said.  Is that convoluted enough and did I add more
confusion to the matter? I remember with awe and vividness my trip to
Washington D.C.  It is such an amazing experience.  Ideally we could
everyone who wants to go.  I learned so much about our representatives, our
capital city and the Federation.  Maybe in a few years the country will have
it's financial feet under itself'.  Once again we can send people to
Washington, especially our young people.

It strikes me that I was a bit cryptic in my message below.

If people wish to be part of the NFB of Washington delegation to the 
2009 Washington Seminar on their own dime, I welcome them. The reason I 
asked to be informed (below) was so we could coordinate our efforts --  
appointments and such.

Thanks.

Mike Freeman, President
NFB of Washington

Nope; just let me know.

Mike, if NFBW members wish to attend and pay their own way would you see
any problem with this?
Thanks.

R&D Committee which meets just prior to
the Washington Seminar and since my airfare will be paid  to attend this
meeting, the most logical decision is that I
should be that representative.

sorry that the affiliate cannot accommodate them since the Washington
Seminar is excellent experience both of the way
NFB WORKS AND OF THE United States government in action. If we can raise
sufficient funds, we can send more
people in 2010.
