The report is accurate and concise. The info concerning the t-shirts is part of the event and does not place the chapter in an awkward position. There should be no issue with the financial info.

>> Dear NFb Family:
>> 
>> 
>> 
>> The NFB of Ohio Cincinnati chapter Planning committee and I would 
>> like to thank all of you who participated in and supported the "Meet 
>> the blind Month," and "White Cane Safety Day" walk.  We were blessed 
>> with beautiful weather yesterday.
>> 
>> 
>> 
>> We were grateful to have all of the volunteers, visitors, (Dr. Peters 
>> and Gloria Robinson from the Miami Valley chapter) and Cincinnati 
>> family.  One of my volunteers said there were around 50 people at the 
>> City Hall ceremony and about 40 people who walked from there to 
>> Fountain Square.  Beautifully designed programs, by one of my 
>> volunteers, were handed out to some of our sighted friends and a copy 
>> was given to vice Mayor David Mann and I presented David Mann with 
>> one of
> our t-shirts at the end of his readings.
>> A
>> volunteer took lots of pictures and did a video which she will email 
>> to
> me.
>> Today, I was informed of another very good source, a person at city 
>> cable and Sam, at clovernook, who had also taken several pictures.
>> When I receive all of the pictures and the video, I plan to send them 
>> to Chris for the NFB Face book Page and to anyone else who wishes to 
>> have this information.  I might also mention that it was a blessing 
>> that a person at city Cable made sure we had a great sound system 
>> with a podium, and Walter and I had sound systems at Fountain Square.
>> 
>> 
>> 
>> I began the ceremony with a silent moment for those killed or injured 
>> in the Los Vegas shooting and welcomed everyone afterwards.  Vice 
>> Mayor David Mann did a wonderful presentation and reading of the 
>> proclamations.  Lisa Hall did well with all of her NFB historical 
>> readings, Lillie did well with the singing of "Glory National 
>> Federation with the audience joining in on the chorus," and Sheri 
>> Albers did an excellent job giving the walking route directions and 
>> leading us on the walk to fountain Square.  Sheri has been my right 
>> arm in the planning of this event.
>> 
>> 
>> 
>> The walk to fountain Square was pleasant and well organized.  Several 
>> volunteers walked along making sure everyone stayed fairly close 
>> together; even my director of the cancer Justice Network, Steve, 
>> walked
> with Kim.
>> After we arrived at fountain Square, Cassy, a friend/volunteer, took 
>> more pictures including a group picture.  I introduced the recreation 
>> and fundraising committees.  Lisa Hall read a Braille copy of each of 
>> the proclamations.  Sheri and I led the group in the one-minute 
>> message of
> NFB.
>> Walter and Kim used the sound system well to get the word out about 
>> NFB and our purpose for being at Fountain Square.  Jean passed out 
>> lots of NFB literature and in addition to my volunteers, Lisa, Julie 
>> and Cassy, helped sell t-shirts.
>> 
>> 
>> 
>> Nine t-shirts were sold yesterday totaling fifty-seven t-shirts since 
>> we purchased them.  Congratulations to Kim McEachirn who has sold 
>> twenty-six thus far of the fifty-seven.  Currently, the revenue from 
>> the sale of the t-shirts totals $855.
>> 
>> 
>> 
>> Finally, I really appreciate the contributions of gift cards, lemon 
>> cookies and ice cream from the various venders.  It was a great event 
>> and everyone seemed to enjoy meeting and greeting the public and 
>> selling
> the t-shirts.
>> 
>> 
>> 
>> Again, thank you everyone.  Together, we did it!
