[Jayhawk-chapter] Prompt action requested

[Rob Tabor]

Good morning all,

Cindy, thanks for pointing out the typo which Siri made and I did not catch. The Kansas blind student division has raised $400 toward the seminar participation expense with $200 contributed by south-central chapter and $200 contributed from their own treasury. Thus, if our motion is approved that will leave $1000 more to be raised.

Two votes have been cast so far, so thank you to those who have voted, So please keep those votes coming in. Bline I hope this message finds you all doing well and make it a great week.
Best regards,
Rob

I regret tht I was not at the meeting to vote.  (I am puzzled by the amount of support already obtained for the event.  "...eight  $400...?"  Could you clarify that please?)

>> Though it felt one member short of a quorum, we had a very good chapter meeting yesterday with five members present. As you may recall, there was an item on the agenda pertaining to the student division's request for financial assistance for original blind student leadership seminar at Colorado Center for the blind. The Kansas student group will travel cross country by car to the Denver area on March 9 and will return to Kansas on the 12th. Luke Schwinck, President of the Kansas Association of blind students, estimates a cost of approximately $1600 to transport, feed, and house five blind students and a driver. Today eight $400 has been raised for the event including contribution from the blind student division treasury.

The seminar is expected to build a collaborative network of communications among blind student groups within our region, reinforce the Federation's positive philosophy of blindness, and to build or reinforce competency skills.

>> I wish to assure everyone that our blind student division is very enterprising and works very enthusiastically in fund-raising projects including an auction conducted at our 2016 state convention in November. Unfortunately, a significant portion of the treasury is tied up in unsold inventory despite their best efforts to sell nuts and related snack food items.
>> 
>> It was moved by Jim Secor and seconded by Athena Johnson that the chapter contribute $200 toward the regional student seminar at CCB. No vote was taken in the absence of a quorum, hence we request you to register your vote via email. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns you may have before casting your vote.
>> 
>> In any event please cast your vote as soon as possible to enable me to communicate with Luke in a timely fashion so he can plan accordingly. Thank you each and all for your careful consideration and prompt action on this important matter.
