Subject: [Nfbwv-talk] Richard L Puerto her award nominations

Hi everyone,

Our state convention will be here before you know it.  It's time 
to be thinking Who you might want to nominate for the Richard L 
Porter award.

Below is an overview of the purpose of the award.  If you have 
someone in mind, please  have your navigations to me  no later 
than August 7, 2017 so I have time to meet with the committee and 
have a plaque made up for the chosen individual

Thanks much for your input.  I look forward to hearing from you.
