Meeting Minutes

Saturday November 5, 2016

 

President Shelbi Hindel brought the meeting to order at 10:10 am.

 

Attended by: Shelbi Hindel, Mike Leiterman, Heather Leiterman, J.W. Smith,
Dustin Granstaff, Linda Pennington, Marilyn Deweese, MariLyn Piepho, Carol
Akers, Denver Jones, Laura Kolb, David Kolb, Stephanie Claytor,  Misty
Hatcher and Annette Lutz.  Also present were guest Katie Crawford and Jason
Bundy.

 

Stephanie reported the current bankbalance as $602.28.  This includes a
deposit of $80 of proceeds raised at the North Market event.  The bequest
balance is $10,962.83.  This includes most of the deductions for upcoming
convention assistance.  A motion was made (J.W./Mike) to accept the
Treasurer's report.  Passed unam.

 

PaulGrynuik was a guest speaker from Foody Cards, a fundraising company that
provides decks of actual playing cards that double as local restaurant
coupons.  Mr. Grynuik stated that for every deck that was sold for $30, the
chapter would make $10, with the 5th deck raising the entire $30 as profit.
Currently, decks are available for Columbus, Cincinnati, and Toledo, with
future plans to expand to other Ohio cities.  There is no up front cost to
the chapter for the cards; they are given on  consignment  until the end
date of the planned sale, when any unsold decks would be returned to the
company.  In addition, sales can be made directly to customers, as well as
through preorders and online.  The company would assist with marketing
materials and a website for sales.  After some discussion, a motion was made
(MariLyn/Heather) for the chapter to sell Foody Cards beginning immediately.
Passed with J.W. and Mike abstaining.  Carole will be the chapter's point
person for this project.

 

Shelbi pointed out that Capital Chapter was well represented in the agenda
for the upcoming state convention, with herself, Annette, and the Leitermans
all taking part as featured presenters.  She also reminded everyone to make
sure that their registration for convention was secured.

 

Elections for the upcoming year were held.  J.W. chaired the Nomination
Committee and presented the following slate of candidates:

 

President: Shelbi Hindel

Vice-President: Heather Leiterman

Secretary: Annette Lutz

Treasurer: Laura Kolb

Board Member: Alex Crawford

 

All slated candidates ran unopposed and were elected by acclamation with the
exception of Treasurer, where Stephanie Claytor was nominated from the
floor.  After a silent vote, Laura Kolb was elected.

 

Shelbi reminded everyone to sign up for NFB List serves at nfbnet.org.
There ar email lists for both the Capital Chapter and the Ohio affiliate
where much information is shared.

 

A motion was made (J.W./Annette) for the Chapter to provide $500 towards
assistance to send chapter members to Washington Seminar.  Passed with Mike
voting against.

 

A motion was made (Carole/J.W.) for the chapter to cease the past practice
of allowing new members who pay their first dues in the last few months of
the year, to be covered through the following calendar year; and that dues
for all members be due in January.  Passed with Mike and Laura voting
against.  Laura, as Treasurer, will keep track of whose paid and who isn't.
A motion was made (Denver/J.W.) that all those who pay dues be given some
kind of receipt of their payment.  Passed Unam.

 

After some discussion, it was decided to hold this year's Christmas party
after the next meeting on December 3 at Spaghetti Warehouse.  Dustin will
make the arrangements and report on the list serve.
