> 1)  Charles Hurst, as a result of his stroke, will be in the ICU rehab unit at LMH for the next six months, at least.  Rob commented that, of course, we are all keeping Charles and Renee in our thoughts and prayers
> Dustin Disque, a friend of Rob's from Independence Inc., had hoped to be with us today but was ill and unable to attend.
> 
> 2)  Rob and Renee attended the Washington Seminar.  It was a good meeting, he reported.  They were able to meet with Rep. Jenkins, in person, and with staff of Sens Roberts and Yoder about several issues:  
> a) TIME (?) bill
> b) TEACH bill - secondary and higher education trade group (?)

> 
> Old Business:
> Fund Raising:  
> 1)  Dinner at Freddie's - last year we received $200 for our dining efforts @ 15 percent of the receipts from the restaurant's total dinner income.  We agreed we would like to do the same thing again this spring.  Rob offered to meet with  Freddies' owner to see if we can work out a similar arrangement.
> 
> 2)  We discussed the possibility of similar fund raisers at such places as the Merc (Rob asked Athena if she would be willing to check there -- Athena said she would do it), Chico's, (Jackie said the Virginia chapter to which she had belonged had held a very rewarding fund raiser with them); and 10,000 Villages.  
> 
> 3)  Rob proposed that we consider doing an NCAA basketball pool, charging a $5 entry fee to enter a completed bracket for the tournament. Terry Thompson, a friend of Rob's at Washington State University, has created an accessible bracket system, which we can use.  We members would need to recruit friends and family to enter.  We could award prizes to 1) the member who recruits the most participants and 2) the winner of the brackets.  We would need to submit our "screen" names to Rob.  The idea was informally approved.
> 
> Knowledge Base:
> Jackie talked with us about her tactile Yoga mat -- an invention which allows a person to orient him/herself properly to perform Yoga poses.  She invited us to attend the 5:30 Yoga class she would be offering that evening at Bemoved Yoga, 7th & Mass.  Sidney asked about Chair Yoga...Jackie said she would report back on that.
