>> The Saturday agenda was full of the usual educational information, and 
>> good energetic discussion of topics near and dear to the hearts of all 
>> Federationists and friends.  Patti Chang was an outstanding national 
>> representative, and it was a doubly exciting time for this year's

>> more of the entire Chang Gregory clan in future activities of the NFB in 
>> Washington State.

>> I for one was extremely glad to see Maria Bradford back in the saddle 
>> again from Spokane with her contingent from the Inland Empire Chapter. 
>> She always shows her determination and stamina for the NFB events, and we 
>> all are with her in spirit as she continues to recover from her recent 
>> setbacks.
>>
>> I also was encouraged by Cindy Bennett's efforts to begin the process of 
>> creating a vital and vibrant student division in Washington State.  Those 
>> of us on and off the board need to not only support her, but 
>> energetically pitch in so this project grows into a valuable permanent 
>> part of our NFB affiliate.
>>
>> From my standpoint, we left the convention with our batteries recharged, 
>> (that coming from the erstwhile "dead battery Ben"), and we are now on a 
>> mission to grow and make this NFB State affiliate one of the best. 
>> Thanks to Mike Freeman, Gary and Denise Mackenstadt, Doug Johnson  and 
>> all who worked hard to make this convention a rousing success.
