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

[Paul Dressell]

Hi Chris,
Good letter except that the National Federation of the Blind was founded in 1940, but the Cincinnati Chapter was begun in 1948. 
Cordially,

Paul

  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
