[Ohio-talk] This Weekend's Convention

[Everett Gavel]

Hello My Fellow Ohioans!

Okay, well, technically I'm a Coloradan now, but hey, y'all are family! And 
besides, my daughters are still over near Akron. ;-)

I hear some of you got hit pretty hard by Hurricane Sandy. I hope you all 
are alright.

I wish I could be there this weekend with you all at convention. Wanda, good 
luck with the Diabetes Action Network elections. The list you sent out 
sounds good.

Can as many of you as possible give Bruce and his family hugs for me this 
weekend? He said he will be at convention. give him a hello and a hug for 
yourself of course, but then give him one from me, too, willya please?

Also, give Kevan Worley a fun, hard time. I'm lucky enough to be in the same 
chapter with him out here in Colorado Springs, and he mentioned at our state 
convention last weekend that he will be the National Rep for the Ohio 
convention this weekend. Hey, I also heard that something like 16 or 19 
people got laid off at the National office. Does anyone know yet if Jason 
Ewell is still working, or is he maybe back in OHio (which would be good for 
the affiliate, I think)?


Blessings to You All -- Strive On!
Everett
