<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. Other sales that are
not done at events will be sales by order and we will get our customers'
purchases to them once we've placed the order with the company and have pickedu
up the nuts. In addition to picking up the items we've ordered, we will also
fill our organizational tax information with them as this should save us having
to pay taxes, which is also a plus.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> 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>
