Deborah Kendrick also dialed in later in the meeting and participated.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The main topic of discussion was our chapter’s social media plan originally proposed in March 2015. At that time, Christopher agree that he will set up the page on Facebook. The page will include information on the Cincinnati Chapter, information about current meeting date and location and links to other resources. Lilly Pennington—who attended the March meeting—agreed to set up a blog on WordPress based on the site of the Greater Louisville Chapter (<a href="http://www.nfbgl.org">http://www.nfbgl.org</a>). We ultimately tabled the plan as creating a Facebook page requires a physical address or P.O. Box. Since we currently have a P.O. Box, the purpose of this meeting was to follow up from the March meeting and establish our social media presence.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>It was agreed that Christopher would create the Facebook page and share the link to it by Friday October 30. Lilly will create the blog on WordPress based on the same model as the NFB of Greater Louisville’s site and have this ready by our next chapter meeting, currently scheduled for November 14. Rachel reported that she would set up a LinkedIn profile and a twitter feed for the Chapter.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>WE also discussed follow up from the “Movie Night” event on October 9 at Clovernook. Turnout for this event was minimal—only five staff from the Clovernook Workshop attended. We discussed Lisa making an announcement about upcoming meetings on Radio Reading Service; she agreed to do this. Deborah agreed that Walter would sign up for PTP and record a message concerning the Chapter on that service. Walter agreed to call CABVI to sign up and ask Janet Papin, Coordinator of PTP, to record the message as a community announcement.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Holding “brown bag” information sessions at Clovernook, CABVI and possibly other locations on topics of interest was also discussed. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Very Best,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Chris<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
