Shouldn't this have been put to a vote at our next chapter meeting?

 Cincinnati NFB White Cane WalkGreetings Cincinnati Federationists, First, I thank all of you who responded to me publicly and privately with your thoughts on changing the date.  I also consulted with Eric Duffy, our Ohio president, and he, along with me and most chapter members, feels that it is best to have the event on a date when as many stakeholders  as possible can participate.  At our last chapter meeting, we discussed the value of building relationships with local agencies, and the consensus was that those relationships are extremely valuable.  Thus, to have this collaborative event when the CEO’s of both agencies and their key staff would be elsewhere would be unwise.  The committee has met this afternoon and has selected October 22 as the date for the walk, and I hope every one of you will be with us.John Mitchell and Chris Faust have both agreed to give participating employees time off with pay and to provide transportation to and from the event.  Sheri, Kathy Gottsleich indicated that you were securing the space on Fountain Square, so I am double checking with you here for confirmation.In addition, since you withdrew from the planning committee, please let me know if you are still planning a follow-up event for Meet the Blind Month.  I want to publicly commend Marianne Denning for making this event a priority for her visiting exchange student.  She is a teacher who truly recognizes the value of a teaching moment!More details will be forthcoming in the next few weeks, but for now, make your plans to be at City Hall by 11:00 a.m. on October 22.Let’s make this the most successful White Cane Walk we have held to date!Warmly,Deborah
