[nfbwatlk] Convention Items

[Lauren Merryfield]

Hi,
That makes sense to me; bummer you weren't included.  I wouldn't like it if 
that happened to me.
Thanks
Lauren

>> On another  note, we plan an auction for the convention as well.  As has

>>
>>

>> Write me off list, and I'll try to get an answer for you.

>> Enjoy the summer, and help us continue to strengthen the NFB in
