Next is fundraiser status. The fundraiser is in progress and began at the beginning of October We raised $105. Waiting for payment from people. Confirmation of hundred and five dollars. Purchases of items will be complete by next week. Working with affiliates, Shane devised ideas to keep the division alive for 2024. Suzanne stated membership speaking. Next year's goal is to increase student membership and the entire file. Reach out to people and get them into the NFB of Ohio. The second one is to raise funds for Ohio through a grant. Kinshuck is looking into grants. The goal is to get into colleges and schools to ensure we find students. Governor DeWine has appointed Suzanne to sit on the council. Do not close student division. Start in January, connect with colleges and high schools to reach out to get students. Suzanne says per capita dues to the affiliate are $10 and a dollar per person. Make sure that it is in. before the convention. Could you send it to Anett Lutz and CC Richard? Per capita goes to Cathy. We can send it by Zelle. We are keeping the fundraiser open until the convention. Find someone or appoint someone to be vice president until we can vote someone in to be vice president; take over only if they cannot—daunting task to be Vice President. Constitution is a requirement at the annual meeting to appoint all board members at that meeting. Do not worry about it until we get to that meeting. Verify the constitution. Goal work with Suzanne to make sure things are the right way. For those who do not have a copy of the outreach letter, let Asia, Shane, or Jackson know. If students want to go to another world, communicate with Caroline. The end goal for 2024 is to eliminate GroupMe and get onto WhatsApp. The next meeting will be two weeks from today, November 10. Social on the 10th and business meeting one week later on the 17. In-person will not be on Zoom. Shane motions to adjourn the meeting. The meeting ends at 8:46 p.m. -- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. www.avast.com -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
