[Tall-Corn] Financial assistance for state convention and more

[Scott Van Gorp]

Good Evening Federation Family:

The board of directors of the National Federation of the Blind of Iowa has
again authorized limited financial assistance to attend this year's state
convention. If you are in need of a little help for convention financially,
please contact me directly and we can talk about it. There will not be a
form this year as I think we can handle things in this manner given the time
we have.

Committees are in the process of being finalized for convention. The
nominating committee is chaired by Bob Ray. If you are interested in running
for the two board positions up for election this year, please contact Bob by
email at

bray at nfbi.org <mailto:bray at nfbi.org> 

or by phone at (515) 334-7231.

The resolutions committee is chaired this year by Cindy Ray. If you have
resolutions to be considered, please get those to Cindy in final form by
September 1. You may contact Cindy by email at:

cindyray at gmail.com <mailto:cindyray at gmail.com> 

or by phone at (515) 334-7231.

If you are interested in serving on either the nominating or resolutions
committees and have not already been contacted, please contact me or the
committee chairs and we will finish the appointments.

Door prizes this year are being handled by Becky Young, and more information
will be coming out about that soon.

Chelsea Van Gorp will once again be handling convention registration.

I am still working on the audit committee and will share more information
once it is finalized.

There are two other positions of note that will be in the convention agenda.
The affiliate fund raising committee is now being chaired by Mary McGee, and
we will be finalizing the rest of that committee soon. Chelsea Van Gorp has
moved from fund raising to begin her role as NFB Newsline coordinator for
Iowa now that the national organization is revitalizing the Newsline
coordinator program. We'll be hearing about both of these items in some
detail at this year's convention.

These are the updates I have for now, but there is still much more to come.
Stay tuned for more regarding state convention and the happenings of the
National Federation of the Blind of Iowa!
