The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back

Greetings all, after searching my email history I was able to find the minutes from the meeting held Sep 8. For everyone’s edification the cost using Uber from the Greyhound bus station to the hotel in Strongsville is approximately $25.

I know the deadline for making arrangements to utilize the bus has passed, but it definitely would be more cost-effective to utilize the bus if you could.
 I composed a message earlier asking about meet the blind month and since there was nothing in the meeting minutes I will assume there was zero discussion hence I will allow my email message to stand alone.

Jordy D. Stringer

believe you can and you’re halfway there.

Meeting Notes

President Annette Luts called the meeting to order at 10:00 a.m.

We did not have enough board members present to hold an official meeting. There were two officers, seven members and one guest present. 

The state convention will be held November 2 to 4, in Strongsville, Ohio. Pre-registration is open. It is $15 and the banquet is $40. These prices will increase once pre-regestration closes. We think the closure is October 26. There are breakfasts and box lunch for $18 and a one-touch self defense class for $15 to sign up for is you wish. 

The affiliate wants to put together a bus to transport folks to and from convention. This will be done if there is enough interest. The bus would stop at a central location in the following cities  Cincinnati, Dayton, Columbus, Cleveland, and then the hotel. If interested get money to  affiliate treasurer Sherry Ruth. The cost is $50 per person. Put the word bus in the memo. Dustin Grandstaff reported that Grayhound is $35 for a round trip and then you must add the cost of transportation from the Cleveland bus station to the hotel. That cost was not available. 

Annette received a check for meat sticks that were sold at national convention. We still have more of these to sell. There were enough volunteers so will have a table at the state convention. 

Lorain chapter is hosting hospitality. Donations are welcome. 

Capital chapter will be contributing $50 worth of gift cards to be given as door prizes. These will be purchased through the Scrip program. Shelbi Hindel will handle this. 

There will be an auction at the convention. Our chapter will contribute an OSU gift bag. Members are asked to contribute money or items for the bag. Shelbi will put the bag together. Bring contributions to the October chapter meeting.  People can contribute other items for the auction if they wish to do so. The goal is to not use any treasury money for this project. 

The block of rooms at the hotel will be released October 11 so get your room reserved as soon as possible.

Shelbi has been asked to write the Gavel submission for the chapter. Get information to her quickly. The report is due October 1. 

The models that OSSB has are in need of repair. This is a major financial undertaking. The Ohio affiliate plans to present a check to the school toward this endeavor. Chapters, divisions and individuals are asked to make contributions toward this. Money needs to be to Sherry Ruth by October 31. 

After the December 1 meeting we will have our Holiday celebration. Dustin is putting this together. Watch for more information to come on our chapter list serv. 

Congratulations to Heather Leiterman on her learning grade I. Braille through the mentoring program. 

The meeting adjourned at 10:47 a.m.

Respectfully,

Shelbi Hindel
