</SPAN>The August 2017 meeting of the National Federation of the Blind of

Mitchell, Emily Pennington, Lilly Pennington, Deanna Lewis, Jean Selvidge
and Kim McEachirn. The Chapter introduced Jean Selvidge as a new member at

</SPAN>Christopher Sabine gave a report from the Membership Committee. He
reported that the committee opted not to meet formally in August to focus on
making contacts for community outreach efforts. An outreach presentation is
scheduled for October 18 at Assumption Parish Mt. Healthy. Deborah Kendrick
and Lisa Hall have expressed interest in participating in this event.
Christopher reported that David Perry has also expressed interest in
organizing an outreach event but needs support from the Committee to arrange
this. Christopher will also be helping Dale Barta reach out to his contacts
at the Vineyard Church in Springdale. Walter Mitchell and Lisa hall are also
reaching out to their contacts. Christopher encouraged anyone with contacts
at community organizations interested in the Chapter’s efforts to email him
or post to the Chapter Listserv. Ideally, the Chapter would like to hold
such events every 3-6 months. Sheri Albers asked if the Committee has a
written presentation that could be disseminated to other community
organizations. Christopher reported that such a presentation has not been
written up yet, as he believes Deborah Kendrick needs to be involved in
drafting it. Lisa indicated that she will order literature from the National
Office to present at the Outreach Event at Assumption Parish on October 18.
Christopher also expressed that he plans to have Braille literature from the
St. Xavier Society for the Blind available to show those attending the event
that such materials are available in Braille. Christopher reported that the
Facebook Page currently has 98 likes and is still being updated
regularly—encouraging all Chapter members with material to share to reach
out to him directly. Finally, Christopher agreed to present an updated
Membership list to Lisa and Deborah for submission to the Ohio Affiliate for
State Convention in October. <o:p></o:p></P>

</SPAN>Sheri Albers gave a report of the Recreation Committee at the request
of Annie McEachirn Carson, who was absent from this month’s meeting. The
Committee reportedly met by telephone conference on August 10 2017, with
Sheri, Walter Mitchell, Judy Rudig and Kim McEachirn attending. Sheri
indicated that the Committee discussed two items which she believed needed
discussion at this month’s meeting:<o:p></o:p></P>

</SPAN>The Recreation Committee proposed to reinstate the annual White Cane
Walk and “Meet the Blind” month event. The event will begin on October 2
2017 at 10:30 A.M. As in years past, the event will begin at that time with
a march from City Hall to Fountain Square with a “meet the Blind” month
event following the march. Unlike in past years’ events however, the
Recreation Committee proposed that a fundraiser be held at Fountain Square
during the “meet the blind” month event. The Fundraising Committee discussed
the particulars of this fundraiser in their report later in the meeting.
Sheri reported that she was unable to secure a table at Fountain Square for
a later date closer to National White Cane Safety Day on October 15. She
indicated that she has secured two tables at Fountain Square for the entire
day on October 2. Annie McEachirn Carson has reportedly reached out to
representatives of the Cincinnati Association for the blind and Visually
Impaired and the Clovernook Center—inviting all staff to take part. Sheri
expressed that as a non-profit organization, the Chapter can have the rental
fee waived. The cost of the event will be $15 per table for two tables.
Sheri reserved three chairs for each table at $2 each for a total cost to
the Chapter of $36. Christopher Sabine asked Sheri if Deborah Kendrick was
apprised of this event before today’s meeting. Sheri expressed that she did
not know. Walter Mitchell subsequently made a motion to reinstate the White
Cane Walk and “Meet the Blind” Month event and hold it on October 2 2017,
allocating all necessary funds to do so. Kim McEachirn seconded, and the
motion passed. Christopher Sabine reported that he would vote yes on the
motion with the stipulation that Deborah be apprised and have the
opportunity to participate in the decision making process. Following the
vote, Sheri expressed that she will connect with Annie McEachirn Carson to
set the event in motion and share details on the Chapter
Listserv.<o:p></o:p></P>

“dinner and a movie” outing sometime in September. Judy Rudig led this
portion of the Recreation Committee report. Judy shared a proposal to have
the event at the Oakley Cinemark—with dinner following at Oakley Tavern. It
was agreed that Judy would share information concerning the event on the
Chapter Listserv, and no further action was taken.<o:p></o:p></P>

</SPAN>Walter introduced the proposal for the “Meet the Blind” fundraiser on
October 2 at Fountain Square, which is being organized primarily by Kim and
Annie McEachirn with assistance from other Committee members. This event is
being held at Fountain Square in conjunction with the “Meet the Blind” Month
event on October 2. The group proposed to sell specially designed T shirts
at the event. Kim McEachirn is reportedly coordinating the sale with support
from Walter Mitchell, Annie McEachirn Carson and other Committee members.
The T shirts will be produced locally and feature a blue eye with a black
dot in the center. Depicted at the top of the eye from left to right are the
words, “Meet the Blind.” Underneath the eye running horizontally are the
words” Mind to Mind.” Kim expressed that the design is the product of a
group of Art students from Chicago who work with a collaborative of several
nonprofit organizations connected to the MCEachirns. The T shirts will be
made to order and produced locally. Some time was spent on the cost of the T
shirts, sale price and potential profit margins. Kim presented four T shirt
brands in order from highest to lowest cost to the organization and called
for a vote on which brand to sell. It was agreed that the Chapter will
purchase 100 Anvil T shirts at a cost of $6.70 per shirt for small, medium
and large sizes (with 2 X and 3 X sizes costing an additional $2 extra). The
Chapter agreed to purchase 30 2 X and 3 X T shirts with the remainder being
small, medium, large or extra-large. The manufacturer reportedly requires
50% of this as a down payment. The Chapter agreed to sell the T shirts for
$15 each at the “Meet the Blind” event and other venues—such as State
Convention. Walter Mitchell moved to proceed with the “meet the Blind” T
shirt project as discussed, allocating all necessary funds. Sheri Albers
seconded, and the motion passed. <o:p></o:p></P>
