[Nfb-kzoo] Big stuff going on at the MCBTC.

[Tyler and Leanne Merren]

Hi Kalamazoo chapter,
Tyler and I have talked, and we feel that it would be best for us to try to 
hold an emergency phone conference this evening to make sure everyone has 
been filled in on as much information as we are able to gather about the 
situation.  Matt and JJ are very busy at a conference down in Florida, but 
they said they will join us if they are able to break away for a bit to do 
so.  So we will plan to meet at 9:05 this evening, in order to avoid using 
day time minutes for those of us who are calling on cell phones.  If you do 
not have access to long distance, let us know and I'm sure someone can 3-way 
you in.

The number to call is:
 1-641-715-3777
The pin is: 6325966 (N F B K Z O O)
Please join us if you can.

Call or text me if you have any issues.
269-207-4207
Leanne
Chapter Secretary
