[Cinci-nfb] Minutes from the Meet the Blind Month Committee Meeting September 22, 2015

[Sheri]

Dear Deborah and anyone else who also may need clarification,

First item, if you read the Meet the Blind Month Committee email carefully,
under item #2. October 22, 2015 event, we refer to the discussion from the
Membership Committee Meeting minutes discussing the same mentioned event. We
are referring to the email on the Cinci-Talk email from Christopher Sabine
dated 9/14/2015 entitled Summary of NFB Membership Committee Meeting, where
the following was stated: 

 

"Deborah indicated that The White Cane Safety Day-typically scheduled for
October 15 to coincide with the national event-is also the date of a major
event sponsored by National Industries for the Blind, and several CEO's and
key stakeholders from Clovernook and CABVI will be unable to attend. Deborah
expressed that she had a meeting earlier today, and it was agreed that we
will be holding a combined White Cane Safety Day / Meet the blind event on
either October 20 or October 22. As in the past, this event will consist of
a march from Cincinnati City Hall to Fountain Square, where literature will
be available and people can ask questions about the NFB and Blindness
related topics. Christopher has agreed to staff a table at the event on
Fountain Square."

 

The Meet the Blind Month Committee agreed that no further action needed to
be taken for this event, meaning you seem to have got it covered.

 

Item two, these were the minutes of the meeting as they were spoken in the
meeting. No, I did not send you an email answering your question as to
whether or not this committee was going to make any other event plans for
that day until we had a committee meeting. We now had that committee
meeting, and this was the result of that meeting. 

 

I am so very sorry this caused you so much confusion.

Best Regards,

Sheri

Hello Sheri, 

Thanks for this summary of your committee's meeting.  

Two items need clarification.  

First, you write:

"

The Meet the Blind Month Committee also agreed that, after the discussion
that took place during the Membership Committee meeting, no further actions
need to be taken."

This is completely unclear.  The Meet the Blind Month Committee is talking
about a discussion that occurred in the Membership committee?  Which
discussion?  No further action regarding what?  Sorry.  It just doesn't make
sense.  

 

Second item, less important, is that you seem to mean that you are answering
my email by addressing it in this summary.  If you sent another email, I did
not get it.  

That said, am glad to have the answer, and look forward to the other
clarification.

 

Thanks for keeping me posted.

 

Deborah
