>> 1 My cell number is 740.707.5114 so use it if you have to because it will 
>> be the best way to contact me at the Convention. Please share it with 
>> those that do not have access to email.
>>
>> 2 Our Caucus will be held in the LaSalle b room on Level 5 of the 
>> Mariott. It will start promptly at 5-30 and I will move it along as 
>> quickly as possible because I want as many of our chapter Presidents and 
>> leders in general, to attend as much of the Back To Basics seminar as 
>> they can.
>> You might want to try and grab a bite before our meeting.
>>
>> 3 Bring your banquet tickets to the Caucus and give them to Crystal 
>> McClain with your name signed on the back if possible if yu want to sit 
>> with the rest of us. Whether you sit with us or not you will have to 
>> exchange the ticket you purchased for one that will get you a seat at 
>> some table.
>>
>> Please help our new people with all of this.
>>
>> 4 Richard and Cindy will be publishing instructions about selling candy 
>> and turning in money. Please sell it enthusiastically and as quickly as 
>> possible because if we run out we can always get more.
>>
>> 5 If you have Jernigan ticket stubbs and you want me to turn them in with 
>> the rest that I have get them to me.
>> Just make sure you are in the drawing and make sure that Sherry has your 
>> checks made out to the NFB Of Ohio with raffle tikets in the memo line.
>>
>> 6 I am very serious about general session attendance this year especially 
>> if you are receiving financial assistance from us. I want our delegation 
>> area to be as full as possible as often as possible!Remember that it is 
>> sometimes very cold in the Ballroom so dress appropriately. Also, please 
>> be aware that not only should we dress appropriately for the sessions, 
>> but we should act appropriately too. Cameras are always on and not 
>> everyone is totally blind not to say that this should be an excuse for 
>> unacceptable behavior, but I hope you understand what I mean. For one 
>> example, we all get a bit tired sometimes and we might nod off briefly or 
>> yawn from time to time, but it has been my experience that some people 
>> literally camp out in the delegations and it can be quite embarrassing so 
>> let's not shine that  kind of spotlight on Ohio ok?
>>
>> 7 Finally I think for now, be very aware of who is around you and take 
>> care especially when leaving the hotels. I am not knocking Detroit, but I 
>> lived their for 3 years and it is imperative that you keep your wits 
>> about you at all times. This property has great security but they can't 
>> be everywhere all the time so be responsible and alert.
>>
>> We are going to have a great delegation this year and a wonderful 
>> Convention so get excited.
