Hi All,
I just reread the minutes here, and noticed that I left out a
word. In the BRAGS AND DRAGS section, it should say "Chris said
that," not "Chris that." I fixed it below, and will fix it in
both of my files. Sorry about that!
Blessings,
Linda

MEETING MINUTES
Monday, May 8, 2017
The NFBN Senior Division met by telephone conference on Monday,
May 8, 2017.
President Robert Newman called the meeting to order at 7:09 PM
CDT. Members
present were: Robert Newman, President; Barbara Loos, Vice
President; Linda
Mentink, Secretary; Cheryl Livingston, Treasurer; Nancy Oltman,
Board
Member; Chris Boone, Gina Finnell, Walt Hively, Brad Loos, and
Steve
Senteney. Guests were: Janet Coleman, Melvin Forster, Ellen
Ringlein, and
Gerri Whitlow.
Ellen Ringlein, manager of our Independence Market, was our guest
speaker.
She told us about herself, and then talked about the Independence
Market.
Nancy recited the NFB Pledge.
Linda read the April minutes. Geralyn was misspelled twice, and
the
information about the bequest was incorrect. Cheryl moved,
Barbara seconded,
that the minutes be approved as corrected. The motion carried.
Cheryl gave three treasurer's reports. The reason her initial
March report
didn't have any activity is because she read the report on the
same day that
the PAC was taken out. She decided that, unless something is
going on with
the PAC, she is going to deduct it from our account because she
knows it's
going to come out anyway. She corrected her March report to
reflect an
ending balance of $816.53, deducting the $15. The only expense
in April was
$15, so our ending balance April 10 was $801.53. The only
expense in May was
again $15, so our ending balance May 8 is $786.53. Barbara
moved, Nancy
seconded, that we accept the whole lot. The motion carried.
Robert asked Gerri, a potential new member, to tell us a little
about
herself. She is from Kearney. Due to infection caused by a
congenital
disease which runs in the family, she lost her left eye in 2010,
and her
right eye in May of 2015. She used to be a nurse, was in the
army in
Virginia for nine years, and is now retired. She is a client of
the
Commission, and is learning a different way to live.
Cheryl will recite the NFB Pledge next month.
Robert will ask Jamie Richey, our state Newsline coordinator, to
come on
next month and talk about NFB Newsline. Robert asked, but no one
had any
ideas for future topics.
BRAGS AND DRAGS. Cheryl's drag is that she is battling mice in
her house.
Chris said that their cat hid her three kittens underneath the
hopper in a
combine.
Barbara's son John broke his hand, and last week her daughter
Marcia went
into the hospital with gall stones.
Brad mentioned that a guy ran a red light, and ran into Emma's
car, totaling
it. She was not seriously injured.
Cheryl moved, Nancy seconded, that we adjourn. We did so at 8:38
PM.
Respectfully submitted,
Linda Mentink, Secretary
