[Kyra Sweeney]

Hi everyone,
Hope you have all been enjoying the holidays!

Pasted below and attached please find the minutes from the At-Large
Chapter's November meeting held on Sunday, December 18th, which I took
in Liz's absence.

Thanks,
Kyra


The NFB of MA At-Large Chapter held its December monthly meeting on
Sunday, December 18, 2022 via Zoom. Those in attendance included:
Allen Larkin
Amalia Alexandre
Brian Langlois
Cullen Gallagher
Kyra Sweeney
Mike Karsok
Sandra Burgess
Shara Winton

Allen called the meeting to order at 6:41 p.m.

Kyra agreed to take the minutes in Liz’s absence.

Cullen recited the NFB pledge.

We conducted a roll call.

A motion was put forth to approve the November meeting minutes as they
stand. The motion was seconded. The minutes were approved.

Sandy gave the Treasurer’s report. She announced that 2023 dues should
be paid by January of 2023. The dues should be paid to the
Massachusetts state affiliate account via PayPal under the donation
section. Be sure to put in the notes that the payment is for NFBMA At
Large Chapter annual dues. Dues are $10.

Shara gave the president’s report. She announced that the dates of
Washington Seminar are January 30th and 31st and that anyone wishing
to attend should contact Shara immediately. She also reminded us that
the state convention will be taking place from Thursday, March 2
through Sunday, March 5, 2023. The chapter will meet at the state
convention.

Cullen played the presidential release.

Shara delivered some sad news that, due to the date, was not captured
in this month’s presidential release: the loss of Scott LaBarre, who
was an influential leader in the Federation and who significantly
advanced the rights of people with disabilities.

Shara announced that almost $1,500 was raised in the DoubleGood
Popcorn fundraiser!

The meeting was adjourned by Allen at 7:25 p.m., after which the
chapter had a virtual holiday party/Secret Santa lasting approximately
one hour.
