[Ohio-talk] Independence Market

Mon May 2 20:35:17 UTC 2011

Hi all,
I did not work for the Independence Market last year, even though my name is on the list. My last name is spelled incorrectly as well. But, I can work a shift at this years convention. Thanks.
I hope everyone is doing well. Sorry I could not make it to the recent board meeting. I just started to volunteer at Clovernook Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired, and was there on Saturday.

Dear  J.W.:

Mrs. Jernigan and I are beginning to put together the schedules for the aids and appliances demonstrators, storekeepers, and cashiers at the NFB Independence Market for our 2011 National Convention.  Here is a list of persons from your state who worked last year: 

Carol Akers

Debbie Baker

Donny Boggs

Ruth Boggs

Eric Burghardt

Susan Day

Eric Duffy

Barbara Fohl

Deanna Louis

Shawn Martin

Richard Payne

Kelly Prescott

Gloria Robinson

Wanda Sloan

J.W. Smith

Devita Williams

Milena Zavoli

Please go through the list and eliminate those who will not be attending convention this year or who you believe will be unable to work.   If you know of others who can work, please add them to the list so that I can give them an assignment this year.

We are anxious to get the assignments out, so please get back to us as soon as possible.  It is contemplated that each individual will work a four-hour (morning or afternoon) and a two-hour (lunch) shift.  This is only a total of six hours.

Please do what you can to help us to have plenty of workers at the NFB Independence Market to assist our fellow members.  I look forward to working with each of you on this important project.

Sincerely,

add me to the list.
