How's that for a conventional opening. (grin.)This year's NFB of Washington convention was full of activities, enthusiasm,passion, and energy. I was extremely impressed  by the number of engagedblind friends and sighted participants who really came to work, play and bethe true Federation family. Marci of course did a fantastic job of runningall the convention sessions as our esteemed President, and the conventionplanning committee, with Corey Grandstaff as coordinator/chief/whip, ETC andall the others who worked on things was outstanding. The fact that we hadparticipants from California, Oregon, Louisiana and Canada made our wholeweekend a diverse fun and re-energizing event. Thanks to all who made thingsrun smoothly, and yes, to those who donated to the NFB of WA, bringing andpurchasing auction items, buying drawing tickets from our chapters and theWashington Association of Blind Students. Our students are vital, and movingforward fast, and congratulations to all the officers of that revitalizeddivision.The scholarship winners this year were Nikki Palm and Isaac Heiman. And,Isaac also was elected as student division state President.Of course, Pam Allan, First Vice President of the NFB was at the convention,and was outstanding at all the events. Her banquet speech touched me forsure, and I heard others who commented very positively about her presenceand the reports and speeches she gave from the national office. She and herhusband Roland worked all weekend with parents, students and the rest of usand really helped on the seminars and other activities.If  you missed this convention, it is really too bad. It was, as I thinkI've made clear by now, a convention none of the participants will forget. Iknow I'll savor memories of last weekend./s/Bennett/s/Bennett Prows_______________________________________________NFBWATlk mailing listNFBWATlk at nfbnet.orghttp://nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/nfbwatlk_nfbnet.orgTo unsubscribe, change your list options or get your account info forNFBWATlk:http://nfbnet.org/mailman/options/nfbwatlk_nfbnet.org/kkipp123%40gmail.com_______________________________________________NFBWATlk mailing listNFBWATlk at nfbnet.orghttp://nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/nfbwatlk_nfbnet.orgTo unsubscribe, change your list options or get your account info forNFBWATlk:http://nfbnet.org/mailman/options/nfbwatlk_nfbnet.org/lfitz50%40gmail.com_______________________________________________NFBWATlk mailing listNFBWATlk at nfbnet.orghttp://nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/nfbwatlk_nfbnet.orgTo unsubscribe, change your list options or get your account info for NFBWATlk:http://nfbnet.org/mailman/options/nfbwatlk_nfbnet.org/vincentricks65%40gmail.com
