Subject: [CapChapOhio] A couple of things

Good morning capital chapter,

I had a couple of things I wanted to bring up to all of you and see what everybody thinks.
First of all, I wanted to know what everybody thought about doing our adjusting to blindness seminar on a Friday. I can get us a room at the state library of Ohio which is close to downtown Columbus. Unfortunately, they are not open on the weekends. I believe this would be a good location for us, but we would have to do it Monday through Friday. I was thinking about Friday, April 26. Please let me know what your thoughts are about this?

Also, I have inquired with hot chicken takeover about doing a  Dining donation event. They reached out on Facebook to community organizations stating that they would love to offer this and invited groups to let them know if they would like to work with them. Basically, they would pick an evening and we would go there and hand out flyers to customers. Then we would receive 20% of all that was sold, including dine in and carry out, for those who turned in the flyers.  I know these types of events have worked well sometimes and not so well others, but I thought it might be worth giving it a shot. I will let you know when I hear back from them and see if we get a date. If we do, we should all get together, have dinner, and hand out flyers that evening. 

Hope everybody is having a great week so far.

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