[Nfbf-l] National Convention to be Held in Orlando

[Sherri]

Kori, I am glad to hear that you are enthused about NFBF hosting not only 
one, but four national conventions. This is a time to pull together and 
become a real team. We all need to realize that we are larger than just one 
person's ego, one chapter, one division or one state. We are all part of the 
National Federation of the Blind and the only way we can change what it 
means to be blind is to go forward with a positive attitude and a 
willingness to truly help blind people not only throughout Florida, but 
throughout our organization. I look forward to all of us working together to 
make these up-coming four national conventions the best the NFB has ever 
seen. Together we can do that. Kori, thanks for spreading your excitement 
about this wonderful opportunity to the rest of the list. Now let's join 
with her NFBF and move forward.
Sherri
