<p class=MsoNormal>Hello, Everyone:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>All Board members were present at the meeting: James
Canaday, Rob Tabor, Brendy Latare and Bob Fuller. Susan Tabor was present as
the nut lady. I will endeavor here to clearly and succinctly note the details
of the board meeting earlier this evening:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>* Yes, we will be selling nuts this fall. We are going
to do business with Farmstead Treats, the company out of Overland Park. We will
sell about ten kinds of nuts and five other treats. Brendy and Susan will meet
this week to make further decisions about exactly what to sell and will also
discuss details on pricing. They will also include Sidney Roedel in this
collaboration if she returns from her travels in time and can be involved.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>* The company does do a pay-as-you-sell option. We decided
to order inventory to have on hand to sell on demand for events like our outside
events during Meet The Blind month in October, at the walk on November 12 and
possibly at the hotel during Convention. Susan will talk with the company again
to inquire about the sulfate agent used in preserving and also to get more
details concerning the pay-as-you-sell; e.g., could we make another order if we
were ready to do so before we'd paid for the inventory, especially if we had
money in hand for the new order.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>* The Board decided that during the outdoor events we would
forego the sale of chocolate-covered items.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Jim will check with the City and the bank concerning permits
for sales, along with from whom and when they need to be obtained. Rob will
contact the hotel to check to see if we can sell for our nut fundraiser during
the convention there.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Susan will provide sales information in Braille to our
members who use Braille at next Saturday's chapter meeting. See you all there!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Respectfully Submitted:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Susan Tabor<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
