[Jayhawk-chapter] Questions re. 3 Upcoming NFB Events

[Rob Tabor]

You're right Cindy Lou. I did miswrite the year. My only excuse is that I
wrote this posting late at night after a generally sluggish and unproductive
Sunday. Thanks for pointing out the error of my ways and have a great week.
AS to the xmas party we've always been able to secure a private dining room
so knock on wood. Have a great week.

Take care,

Rob

Rob, isn't that Seattle thing on December 12, 2012?

 

I am amazed that you have not scheduled a location for your Christmas party.
We wouldn't be able to get one if we hadn't done it already. I can't wait to
hear where it will be though. I wanna come, but after missing the bus back
here, I'm not going to be in Lawrence any time soon.

Hello fellow Jayhawk Chappter members,

 

There are 3 major events coming up within the next few months and I need to
get your preferences and requests for financial assistance to our state
president Donna Wood by December 1, mainly in regard to the Washington
Seminar. Here then are the 3 questions on which I need feedback.

 

1.       Do you wish to participate in Washington Seminar which will take
place in Washington, DC from February 4 - 7, 2013. IF you wish to attend and
and would like to receive financial assistance from the state affiliate
board, I need your request before December 1 so I can communicate your
requests to Donna by the first. You can write me off list at
rob.tabor at sbcglobal.net or call me at either my home or mobile numbers,
841/3875 or 865/9959 respectively.

2.       NFB national office is organizing a demonstrational rally at Amazon
headquarters in Seattle to protest its agressive promotion of its
inaccessible Kindle digital book reader in public educational systems. This
is a one day event scheduled for December 12, 2013. At this time state
president Donna

Is polling board members to ask if we will approve an allotment of funds to
provide financial assistance to those who would like to participate in the
event. Are you interested in participating in the seattle event, and would
you like to attend if the board votes to make financial assistance
available. If the vote is affirmative from the board Donna will make an
announcement on Home On The Range, so be watching your email closely.

 

3.       Last but not least, our 2013 convention will be held in Orlando
Florida. President Donna has been comparing the costs of flying and driving
cross country and costs appear to be generally comparable. Cross country
travel will tack 4 days onto the convention schedule while an air trip will
not. However, if we drive to Orlando in rented vans we will have ready
access to vehicles to better enable Kansas conentiongoers to take care of
matters away from the Rosen Center which is the headquarters hotel for
convention activities. I emphasize here that stating your transportation
preferences does not obligate you to attend the national convention. At this
time president Donna is polling Kansas affiliate members to make preliminary
plans over the next few months if enough of us want to travel with wheels on
the ground. We have a little more time to ponder this one, but Donna is
expecting chapter presidents to report numbers to the 2013 first quarter
board meeting which will probably take place in January or February. Again,
let me know your thoughts.

 

On an unrelated subject, our Christmas party is tentatively scheduled for
December 14, 2012. This is a Fridy evening and will take place at one of
Lawrence's fine but affordable dining establishments to be determined. If
you would like to give input into the party planning process you are
encouraged to contact Renee Morgan, Athena Johnson, or Susan Tabor.

 

Thanks to those who helped me to have a smooth and productive chapter
meeting. Rest assured the rest of you were missed and I hope to see you all
at the Christmas party.

 

Best to all,

Rob Tabor Jayhawk Chapter president
