[nfbwatlk] Washington Seminar

[Mackenstadt, Gary]

Mike, you do a great job.  Certainly, the buck does stop with you, and that makes for some tough decisions.  However, I think everyone would agree that you are very fair and liberal.  After all, it is better that the buck stop with you than to have a check bounce on the floor.

Fellow Federationists:

As you will have noted from Jim McCarthy's recent message, Washington 
Seminar is fast approaching. A number of you have spoken to me requesting 
attendance at the Washington Seminar with assistance from the NFB of 
Washington. Our affiliate Treasurer, Gary Mackenstadt, informs me that while 
the affiliate's financial cupboard is by no means bare, we are not flush 
with cash at the moment. Therefore, I have reluctantly decided that the 
affiliate will not be able to assist all who have requested assistance to 
attend the Washington Seminar. Criteria by which I will determine whom the 
affiliate will assist include both seniority (how long prospective Seminar 
attendees have been a member of the NFB) and whether prospective Seminar 
attendees are first-timers or have attended a previous Washington Seminar. I 
shall communicate privately with those whom the affiliate will assist. Once 
I have done so, I will make hotel reservations for those who will attend the 
2007 Washington Seminar.

I am sorry to have to make such decisions but the buck really *does* stop 
here!

Mike Freeman, President
National Federation of the Blind of Washington
