[NFBWATlk] NFBW/O Bell Academy In Person Training May 31 - June 1

[Kris Colcock]

Hello Again!

A few more updates:
1. Friday night we will be gathering at the Air B&B NFBO has secured. There
will be Fried Chicken, Grilled Chicken and some sides. Bring a dessert to
share or a side dish if you want. NOT REQUIRED! Mainly a social time .
Carla will provide us with the address soon.

Saturday night:
The Blind Onion Pizza place is nearby and we truly enjoyed their
hospitality last year.

See you all Friday night or Saturday morning! BTW, if you are arriving
Saturday morning, the door nearest the Staff Room in the Irwin building
will be opened by 8:45am. It is the same door used by our Clark County
Chapter. Parking will also be available in the lot near the gym / Irwin
bilding.
