Thank you Linda. My usual procedure is to write up the minutes and then
send it to Robert as a draft. He then proofs it and sends it back and then I
send it to Mike Hansen for the State web page. You can go as far as you
would like on this process and I will pick up where you left off. Thanks
again for doing this. I have a staff meeting at the same time at Fort
Robinson and I hope to change their plan of having a monthly meeting every
3rd Monday of the Month!

Yes Miss KLem, you will not make the meeting
RE: We need someone to take notes
I too will not be in attendance. (Out of town; Bonnie's birthday and we
will be engaged that evening.)
B&B (Barbara&Brad) will run the show. MMM, we will need someone
to take
notes/minutes!? Who getting this message can help? Please, let
us know
prior to the meeting.
Respectfully yours,
Robert Leslie Newman

April 18, 2016 Meeting
The April 18 meeting began at 7:03 PM (CT) with the introduction
by
President Newman of NFB Krafters Division President Joyce Kane
(note the
unique spelling of Krafters, it starts with a K, not the normal
C). Joyce
spoke of the variety of classes offered and how to join the
Krafters
Division. Last year 87 classes were offered to members. To join
the Krafters
Division go to their website: www.krafterskorner.org
<http://www.krafterskorner.org> or call in on any Monday night:
1-605781-1000, access code: 875029#. After $20 annual dues are
paid you will
choose your class from the website list. A different phone
number will be
sent to you for the class you choose via email. Each class has a
different
conference call in number.
Following the presentation by Joyce Kane, President Newman called
the
regular meeting to begin. There were 14 members in attendance.
The NF B Pledge was recited, led by Cheryl. Nancy volunteered to
lead the
pledge in May.
Secretary Lemmon using JAWS read the Secretary minutes from
March. VP
Barbara Loose requested 3 corrections. Corrections were made and
the minutes
were approved. (Motion by Linda, second by Barbara)
Treasurer Livingston gave the financial report which was reported
with a
balance of $902.95. Report accepted (Motion by Barbara, second
by Linda)
OLD BUSINESS
Barbara reported that the cartridge case for mailing thumb drives
to
individuals who are members of the Senior Division but do not
have computers
would be $2.50 each. If we would choose to use the cassette
cartridge rather
than the thumb drive, the cassette would cost $3.00.
NEW BUSINESS
Robert asked for future topic ideas. Becky
suggested that we
invite a Lions member to attend one of our meetings to promote
the Senior
Division and the NFB in general. Karen suggested that we have
someone who
has gone into the professional world as a blind person who would
be willing
to speak on not only their work but training they have had as
well as
technology they utilize.
There was no knowledge of progress on approval by the NFBN Board
of the
Senior Division Constitution. President Newman said he plans to
attend the
May NFB meeting.
BRAGS and DRAGS
The members offered sympathy to Brad whose sister had passed
away.
Kim Richards, a past member who now lives in Aberdeen had to make
the
decision to euthanize her long time guide dog, Champ,
The next meeting will be on May 16th.
There being no further business the meeting ended at 8:04 PM (CT)
Respectfully Submitted,
Karen Lemmon
Secretary
