.Meeting called to order at: 10:05 by President Chris Higley. 

.Persons attending: Chris Higley,  Doug, Song, Theo, Bob, Kaye, Betty, Beth,
Li Ling, and we had two guests that decided to join the chapter and were
voted in and paid dues. They were Tim Breitenfeldt and Eric (not sure his
last name). Eric was there with Theo. Joanni was attending via Zoom. 

 

.Accepted the secretary report as presented. 

.Doug gave a treasurer's report. It was accepted. 

.Doug reported that while the fundraising committee had not been meeting,
they would start meeting again on the first Friday of each month at 7 pm.
The next meeting will be  on May 1st. 

.We discussed the next event the chapter is sponsoring with WSSB. That is
bowling at Crosley lanes on June 8th from 3:30 to 5:30 pm. It had to be
moved from May to the new June date. The chapter discussed what to provide
for food for bowling.  In the past we have done pizza, and another time we
did chips and cookies and water. The chapter voted to provide chips,
cookies, and water. 

.The engagement committee is still discussing how best to work with local
hospitals/clinics to improve care for those with disabilities. 

.DSB and Amerability are having a conference called "Stronger Together" at
the Hilton downtown  The NFBW affiliate is having a table in their exhibit
area on May 16th. From 11 to 5. I asked who might be able to come and help
me at the table on that day. Beth is going to be able to help. And Li Ling
and Theo both said they might be able to help for a bit but they are helping
in other areas of the conference too so are not sure on the timing of
things. 

.President Higley announced that due to our hard work talking to our
legislators WTBBL is going to be able to rehire a receptionist and one other
person. In doing this the library is going to be reopening to the public.
The hope is for them to reopen July 1st. 

.We talked about national convention. The dates of convention are July 3rd
through July 8th in Austin TX. The headquarter hotel block is full but there
are still rooms available in the overflow hotels. President Higley
announced the Kenneth Jernigan scholarship for first timers is due on April
15th. And the financial assistance form for the affiliate is due on April
17th. 

.We did our chapter chat. One of the things discussed was how to file taxes
independently. 

.We  voted Eric and Tim in as new members. 

.We adjourned about 10:55. 

 

(Special thanks to Chris Higley. Who provided the minutes in the absents of
secretary Don Mitchell. Information was provided from her recollection as
the recorder stopped and did not record the meeting. )
