>Dear fellow federationists, (Mrs. Maurer can you send this message to the NFB staff?) 
> 
>As much as we would like to dig our heads in the sand and live in denail, we must come to terms with the fact that our fearless leader Sharon Maneki will be stepping down as president after 20 years of dedicated and loyal service.  In an effort to make her "retirement" a memorable event Judy Rasmussen and I have partnered together to get a braille memory book together with comments from everyone about their memories of her as president and how she has touched your life!
> 
>To that end, I am requesting that you send a short e-mail or word file with your contribution expressing thanks, or telling a humorous or heart warming story.  I need time to get the file all together into a braille book so please get me your contribution by Monday, October 30. We will be making a presentation to her at the MD state convention in Ocean city on November 10-12. 
> 
>Also Michael Gosse the first vice president is taking up a monetary collection to purchase a nice gift from her federation family. You can mail your contribution of any amount  to Michael at:

>Checks should be made payable to Michael with a memo line about the Sharon fund.

>Time is short so act fast! I know that Sharon will treasure all of your contributions. Please be sure to forward this request to everyone you know who knows Sharon. I do not want to leave anyone out!
