[Nfbf-l] correction on elections for NFBF

[Sherri]

See I should have relied on a board member to send this report. Before I get 
many e-mails as to my mistake, Gloria Hicks was elected "treasurer". Lenora 
is such a fabulous secretary we would never want to take that job away from 
her, so she still has it for another year. I also may be incorrect about who 
actually has the 1-year board position. Johnny Slaton may have a 2-year 
position and Paul the 1-year position, but I am just not sure. These 
elections are very confusing, so please step up and correct me.

Oh, and the Newsline® meeting went really well with lots of help from 
volunteers to demonstrate its various aspects. I will get the new people 
signed up soon.

  Hi Jim and all,

  I am surprised not to see a convention summary report from our president 
or any board members, but I'll do my best.

  Wow, I don't know if I'll remember all who were elected, but here goes.

  Dwight Sayer chose not to run for any elected office. Therefore, Peter 
Cerullo was ultimately elected First Vice-president. Denise Valkema retains 
her seat as second Vice-president for one more year, though her name was 
placed in nomination from the floor for first vice-president. Gloria Hicks 
was again elected secretary, though Yassen Angelov from the Pinellas chapter 
was placed in nomination from the floor. Paul Martinez and Miranda Kilby 
were elected to the Board for 2-year positions. Johnnie Slaton was elected 
to fill the 1-year position vacated by Peeter Cerullo.
  Anil Lewis gave a great banquet speech really culminating in the idea that 
we all need to make choices as to which group we decide to belong to in the 
case of dual membership.

  The seminars were great. I did not attend, but heard many positive reports 
on the Tips and Tricks seminar presented by Ryan Mann.

  I'm sure others can add a lot more to this report. Jim, you were missed, 
as well as others who did not attend. Oh and in my opinion, the banquet food 
was actually good this year!

  Character is the side of yourself you choose to show the world.
  Integrity is what you do, what you say and how you act when you think no 
one is paying attention.
