[Nfbf-l] NFBF 2010 State Convention

[Sherri]

The interesting thing about it was that Ms. Hildreth did not comment much on 
changes at the center and neither did Ed Hudson aside from the remodeling. I 
did not hear the FCB presentation, but think it was much more detailed. I 
wanted time to ask questions about the proposed name change, etc., but it 
wasn't even brought up and there wasn't much time for questions, as we had a 
crowded agenda. I wanted to address policy issues, not personal issues, as 
many questioners did, so I don't know about the guide dog policy or the name 
change. Jim's summary of events was pretty much what happened.
