Thanks so much to Tammy Smith for being the one person attending the Membership Committee meeting this evening. We’d like to discuss a possible blindness expo later this year, and I have already made some calls concerning possible locations. Please let me know a good means of discussing this as a committee. It does not have to be by phone conference as this does not seen to be a convenient option. I can meet individually with people, set up an in-person meeting or just discuss on Cinci-Talk. I am completely flexible as I think running a committee in the National Federation of the Blind requires flexibility and a willingness to explore various options. Please let me know what is best, as it is apparent that just phone conferences are not effective. As I mentioned previously, I have reached out to a contact concerning a meeting time for an NFB Chapter Vision Expo here in Cincinnati which could also comprise surrounding counties. I’d also like to discuss how we can support Bernie Dressell and Marion King if this hasn’t been talked about already.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Please let me know what is best.
