Hello NFB of Ohio,

Two weeks ago, I sent this email to you with the great news that we chartered a bus to Strongsville, Ohio for The Team Convention. Now, there is only one week left to reserve your spot and get your check to Sherry Ruth. Her address, again, is:

6922 Murray Ridge Road Elyria, OH 44035.

Right now, I have a count for Cincinnati, Miami Valley and Springfield. We have 25 confirmed passengers. Remember, if you are going up on Thursday and want a ride home, we leave at 1PM from the hotel for $50. Don’t be left behind!

One Team, One Goal is the theme for our convention. As a team, we need to fill the bus to fulfill the goal of getting all of us to the convention! This will prove to be an extra special event with the return of our very own Paul and Bernie Dressell! Please join them, as they will be on that bus on the road to Strongsville!

 

Let’s Go Build our Federation!

 

Best Regards,

Sheri Albers, Vice President

Hello NFB-Ohio!

Have you heard about our Team Convention in November? Have you read the articles in the Buckeye Bulletin? Did you know that registration is now available online at  <http://www.nfbohio.org/> www.nfbohio.org? 

If you live in Cincinnati, Dayton, Columbus or Akron, do you know how you are going to get to the convention yet? Well, we have secured a bus to take care of these arrangements for you!

The bus will leave Cincinnati at 4:00 AM on Friday November 2, 2018, stop in Dayton, Columbus and Akron, and drop us off at the front door by 10:00 AM at the Holiday Inn Strongsville. The bus will leave the Holiday Inn on Sunday November 4 at 1:00 PM and reverse the trip back home. The cost for each passenger is $50.00 round-trip. If you plan on riding the bus only one-way, the cost will still be $50.00. We can take a total of 55 passengers, and this will be on a first-come-first-serve basis.

Here’s how it works:

To make your reservation, contact Sheri Albers by email at sheri.albers87 at gmail.com <mailto:sheri.albers87 at gmail.com>  or by phone 513-886-8697. A check for $50.00 then needs to be set to Sherry Ruth, made out to NFB-O with the word “Bus” in the memo. This needs to be done by September 20, 2018.

in the event we do not get enough interest in chartering the bus by September 20, we will need to cancel the bus, and your checks will not be cashed. This is not the time to procrastinate, we cannot make this a last minute decision because we only have a limited time to get our deposit back from the bus company.

Cincinnati has already made 11 reservations and  Miami Valley has 2.

One Team, One Goal! Let’s go build the Federation!
