As is always the case some of our friends have won and a number of others that we don’t know have been elected. How did we get here? Well, I would like to hear from people, either on this list, by phone, or by direct email what your voting experiences were this year. At the same time remember that the National Office has a hotline established for people to pass along problem areas they have encountered. Please help us keep up with the experiences of everyone. For example, Cindy and I voted early at one of the regional voting locations. We had a very good experience. Does not mean that all of the candidates we voted for won but the process went very smoothly.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p><p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Next, up is the long discussed legislative seminar for the NFBI. We had been hoping to have it next Saturday but conflicts came up. We are now restructuring what we will try to cover in this seminar and we are planning to hold it on January 2 by ZOOM. Please keep that date open so you may participate. We promise that it is going to be very informative session.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>We are looking forward to hearing from you about the upcoming seminar and any information that you may have that would be helpful to the legislative committee.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p><p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Bob Ray<o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Legislative Committee Chair<o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>NFBI<o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Email:<o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><a href="mailto:bray@nfbi.org">bray@nfbi.org</a><o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>phone: 515 334-7231<o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>address:<o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>3900 76 Street<o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Urbandale, IA 50322<o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p><p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p></div></body></html>
