Let me add my congratulations to all who have done so here.  We have a dynamic Seattle chapter board. We certainly have a wellspring of good leadership.  Moving forward is going to be exciting, as we have many hardships and celebrations to live through.  

Again, all the best for the coming year. Let's march forward together.

B. P.

Hello All,

Well, yesterday at the Seattle Chapter meeting, we had a great time.
We discussed state and national legislation issues, what is happening with the Washington Talking Book and Braille Library and touched on a few other topics. We had a good turnout of members and Mike Freeman was also able to attend the meeting. At the end of the meeting, we had our annual elections which had been delayed by a month. The new Seattle Chapter board looks like this:

President, Mike Mello
1rst VP: Rita Szantay
2nd VP: Noel Nightingale
Treasurer: Doug Johnson
Secretary: Kay Burrows
Board Member #1: Kris Colcock
Board Member #2: James Jenney

Congratulations to all. I thank the Seattle Chapter  for the recognition for past service. I have had a wonderful time serving as the President of the Seattle Chapter. The organization has helped me understand the importance of quality leadership, how to be an effective leader (and that we never stop learning how to improve these skills), the importance of the blind speaking and standing up for themselves and the true and deep friendships that I have. I know that Mike Mello will be a good leader for the Seattle Chapter. He has experience as a chapter president and has the energy and excitement that we need as a chapter. I look forward to serving on the Seattle Chapter board under Mike's leadership. This should prove to be an exciting new year for the Greater Seattle Chapter of the NFBW.

Kris Colcock
Board Member, NFBW Greater Seattle Chapter <grin>
