[NFBWATlk] NFB of Washington board meeting tonight at 7:00 PM

[Marci Carpenter]

Hi Julie,

That email is spam. You should definitely delete it. Similar emails have been sent allegedly on behalf of other national board members and state presidents. As I have said on this list before I will never contact anyone and ask for money via email.

Thanks,
Marci
