[Nebraska-senior-blind] NFBN Senior Division -January phone-meeting - regular timeslot - later will come the special guest from New Jersey

Tue Jan 6 23:45:36 UTC 2015

Hi Robert, Sorry I didn’t get back sooner. I will be gone as you mentioned to participate in SFL. On the 17th I have called a face to face meeting in Chadron of the Panhandle chapter. The topic on the agenda that is the biggy is whether the chapter has a future. We have members but none that participate and I will be resigning as President of the chapter. I am not happy but I am just thoroughly burned out in trying to keep something  going. I am going to recommend to the Panhandle members that they become involved in the senior division. Maybe there will be more motivation from the division. Wondering if you received the copy of the Constitution and also the minutes from the December board meeting??? I had some trouble with my email and hopefully that is worked out now. Let me know if you did not receive either or both of them and I will resend.

Thanks KLem

Dear You All 

RE: Here is what will happen 

Right, Becky and Karen will be out of state. So I’ll see if Janie can do The first Monday in Feb.? (Looks like her senior meetings ar scheduled on the second Monday, with the technology group on the third Monday. This will make our Feb. meeting early, but worth it. An so hang on for that Feb. date to be firmed up; could even do a different day of that first week. 

And so be prepared to have our January meeting on the third Monday of this month; our regular scheduled timeslot.

Here is what you need to know to join us for our January meeting:

The date: Monday the 19th 

The time for the call: 6:00 PM Mountain and 7:00 PM Central 

The phone number you will dial: 267-507-0400 

Access code: 203747Pound 

This will be our first meeting which is run like a chapter/division meeting: Come-to-order, NFB Pledge (see below), reports discussed and approved (Secretary & Treasurers), Old business, New business, philosophical discussion, brags & drags, adjournment. 

NFB Pledge: 

      I pledge to participate actively in the efforts of the National

Federation of the Blind to achieve equality, opportunity, and security for

the blind; to support the policies and programs of the Federation; and to

abide by its constitution.

although the 26th would work for Brad and me, I am wondering if we should have her be at a meeting where half of our board will be gone. Karen hasn't yet voted, but I believe she will be in South Dakota with Becky.

Hi you All

Hope you had a safe and happy Christmas and New Year!

Below this note is a message from the president of the New Jersey Senior division. She is excited about having the opportunity to come visit with us, however, she is busy the third Monday, and is suggesting a change in date, to make this happen! And so I am taking a vote on this- I personally am in favor of this one week delay in our meeting date. Read on below and then respond with your vote. Once we have our tally, I’ll get back with you with the info to get on the call. Thanks

I would love to but unfortunately, I will be hosting our own technology division conference call at that exact time

Our NJ senior division meeting is Monday, January 12 at 8 PM and our technology monthly call

is the following Monday, January 19 at 8 PM

Is there another time perhaps we could set it up

Monday, January 26 I am available.

Would that work for your group perhaps?

I am surely interested in being on your call so let’s try to figure out how and when, 

okay???

Let me know your thoughts!

Janie

Our affiliate's Seniors Division would like to learn what other affiliate Senior groups are doing, starting with New Jersey's. We are striving for knowledge and inspiration. Would you be available for our January meeting? (SEE meeting info below.)

The meeting date is: Monday January 19th 

Time: 8:00 PM ET, 7:00 CT, 6:00 MT 

Duration of meeting: 1 Hour (generally)  

Number to call: 2675070400

Janie, I have read descriptions of how your group conducts business (educating, supporting, giving back, etc.). On an average month, our meeting size will be a number between 5 and 10. And yes, we are working to gain new membership. 

Can you do it? Please, and Thank You!

Respectfully yours,

Robert Leslie Newman

President, NFBN Seniors Division

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future.

Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams.

You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.

Keep Smiling,
