[Tall-Corn] It’s time for sstate convention!!!

[Cindy Ray]

OOPS! I have jumped the gun just a little. We have  begun the planning for the convention.
Our convention will be September 14-16 at the Holiday Inn and Suites Northwest.
We have seen a huge down turn in numbers, especially last year. A convention without people is like a day without sunshine. If we don’t improve on this, it will be hard to plan a convention. Last year we lost a considerable amount of money on the convention.
What are some reasons for having a convention:
To renew old and valued acquaintances and frienddships.
To make new and valued friends.
To network with others on issues—guide dogs,  seniors, technology—you name it. 
To hear what is going on at the natiional movement.
We come to learn. We come to play. We come to eat.
The convention is your convention; it is my  convention; it is our convention. So what would you like tosee  going on there? What would etince you to come?
The board meets on March 12. By March 11, I would like to hear your thoughts on why you aren’t attending conventions, and what would help you decide to do so. Think about no Zoom. We haven’t decidded that for sure yet, but your responses to me will help us make this decision. Dream a little. No idea is too crazy to bring up.
