[Cinci-nfb] Changing Chapter meeting day and time?

[Deanna Lewis]

Hi all,
I would totally be in favor of switching from Washington Platform to
the Library or somewhere else downtown. It is very distracting when
people are eating, paying, and asking the server for things during the
meeting. Plus, there is never enough room at the main table, so many
of us do have to sit at side tables. There is also a lot of background
noise which makes it difficult to hear each other.
Saturdays seem to work out well for me. I know a lot of the people
that I've invited to the NFB meetings have said that they'd prefer the
meetings to be on Saturdays, instead of during the week. Just my two
cents, I think it would be wise to have an official discussion and
vote on this at our next meeting.
Hope you all had a nice weekend!
Deanna
