> Well, the weekend resulted in a fantastic NFB of Washington convention. We

> President, (of course that's what presidents do, i.e. preside). Her agenda

> luncheons that resulted in formation of new divisions, we awarded two 
> scholarships and had much fun and a great time with friends old and new. I 
> am always excited about the year ahead after our conventions, and this 
> year was no exception.

> WE welcomed Tracie Tonasket and Abby Griffith to the convention as this
