National Button Society President's Blog June 2011

Would better late than never work here?  My daughter-in-law, Sheila, helped me set up this blog a year ago but it’s taken me this long to work up the courage to press “submit”.

As far as NBS news, the Board of Directors meets via telephone once a month to discuss issues as they arise and to make decisions concerning policies and finances.  Our treasurer, Angela Talaber, resigned recently so we’ve been involved with filling her position.  Janel Smith, from OR, has been appointed and will be up to speed very shortly.  Angie was treasurer for 10 years and her service to the society is greatly appreciated.

Pre-registrations for the convention are already coming in.  The Amway Grand Hotel in Grand Rapids, MI, is beautiful and the location affords the opportunity to walk along the river and enjoy the surrounding area.  The convention is open to the public Thursday, August 4, 10 a.m. -5 p.m.; Friday, 10 a.m.- 5 p.m. and Saturday, 10 a.m. - 3 p.m.  If you’ve never attended a national convention I’d encourage you to go.
