[Cinci-nfb] February Cincinnati NFB Chapter Recreation Committee Report

[Annie McEachirn]

Chris,

 

Please attach this recreation committee meeting minutes as an addendum to
the February 27th general membership meeting minutes.

 

The Recreation Committee Meeting as reported by Kim McEachirn:

 

 

The Cincinnati NFB chapter recreation committee met on Thursday, February
25, 2016 by phone conference from 7:00 to 8:30 P.M. with Kim McEachirn
presiding.    In attendance were the following persons:

 

Walter Mitchell, Deanna Lewis, Judy Rudig, Annie McEachirn Carson and Kim
McEachirn.  Topics discussed included:

 

1.        The book club met on February 11th by conference call under the
direction of Annie McEachirn Carson, for the first book discussion which was
on "The Nightingale," by Kristin Hannah.  It was reported that all of the
members had agreed that "The Nightingale," was a fascinating, heart-warming
and passionate book about two sisters and their different choices which
shaped the direction of their lives.  A drawing was held to select the March
discussion leader who would be responsible for informing the group of the
next book to be read.  Chris Sabin, who was chosen to lead the discussion on
March 10th instructed the group to read the book "Nineteen Minutes," by Jodi
Picoult.

 

There was a question about when and how often members could join the book
club.  Annie reported that some initial guidelines by the mini committee had
been set up prior to the January book discussion such as the January 15th
deadline for joining with a six months commitment in mind and consideration
of the group size not to exceed ten people.  Deanna asked that we reconsider
people joining any month if they wanted to do so.  Annie said some thought
would be given to Deanna's concern, and this issue would be revisited.

2.        The LaTerza Coffee shop tour occurred on February 20, 2016 with
approximately ten attendees (nine NFB chapter members and one guest).  From
the planting of the seed to entering the coffee cup, the fascinating inner
workings of this microbrewery was presented to the group.  The tour
experience included coffee tastings, an in-house "NFB" roasting, and
concluded with a leisurely setting where all enjoyed their favorite coffee
along with seven-up cake and pumpkin crisp provided by Walter and Annie.  An
article, written by Annie, and pictures with descriptive labels from Rachel
will be submitted for the Cincinnati NFB chapter facebook page and also both
will be sent out to the list.

3.       Spring Grove Cemetery tour has been rescheduled for Saturday, May
7, 2016.  Annie has been in contact with the special events coordinator and
all of the details of the tour have been worked out.  Information regarding
the tour will be sent to the list, soon.

4.        The Christmas food/clothing drive, (originally suggested by Annie)
was such a success that the committee agreed to have this humanitarian
effort become a permanent part of our holiday celebration.  A motion by Judy
Rudig will be made to the chapter at large for consideration.

5.       New ideas will be entertained at the March meeting.

6.        There was a closing prayer, and the meeting adjourned at 8:30.

 

Kim McEachirn, Co-chairman

Deanna Lewis, co-chair person (AMC)
