[Cinci-nfb] Follow up from April 17 Membership Committee meeting re: outreach efforts

[Christopher Sabine, ONH Consulting]

Hello all. This is a follow up from our Membership Committee Meeting that
was held by telephone conference at 7:00 P.M. on April 17, 2017. We decided
at that meeting that we would conduct outreach activities at churches and
other community organizations throughout Greater Cincinnati. Paul Dressell,
Lisa Hall, Walter Mitchell, Dale Barta and I attended the meeting. We
decided that we would all approach at least one church or community
organization by our next meeting, which is scheduled for May 15 2017 at 7:00
P.M.

 

We decided as follows:

 

.         Dale Barta will contact the Vineyard Church in Springdale;

.         Lisa Hall will reach out to the Friendship Baptist Church on
Cheviot Road in Groesbeck;

.         Walter Mitchell will approach the New Prospect Baptist Church and
the Word of Deliverance Church;

.         Christopher Sabine will contact Assumption Parish

 

The following is a draft letter for prospective contacts regarding our
outreach efforts. Please be sure to give me any feedback you have prior to
sending this out. Also-please feel free to modify or tweak this document in
any way you wish or feel will bring us the maximum exposure possible.

Dear Deacon Rick:

 

My name is Christopher Sabine, and I am glad to be a member of the
Assumption Parish Family. I am writing because I am also a proud member of
the National Federation of the Blind of Cincinnati.

 

Established in 1940, the NFB is the nation's leading organization of Blind
people and the voice of the nation's blind. We strive to enable Blind people
in Greater Cincinnati and nationwide to participate in all aspects of daily
live and live the life they want. WE are conducting outreach to local
community organizations and would like to know if we could host a "meet and
greet" at the Parish to better acquaint the Assumption Family with the
contributions of the Blind to our community. We would also like to
demonstrate and share information regarding how Blind people perform many
daily activities, such as travel, reading Braille and using computers and
other technology. 

 

I would be glad to discuss specifics of this activity with our Pastoral
Council and others involved in organizing this event. If you have any
questions regarding the NFB of Cincinnati, please do not hesitate to reach
out to me at any time.

 

Sincerely,

 

 

Christopher Sabine

 

As I mentioned earlier, we will have our next meeting by conference call on
May 15 at 7:00 P.M. I'll be sending the usual reminders prior to the
meeting.

 

Please do not hesitate to send this letter to community organizations you
are involved with. Let's go build the Federation in Greater Cincinnati.

 

Very Best Regards,

 

Chris
