Report Pasted in and Attached
Hi All,
Maybe one of these days I'll do it correctly the first time. Here it is
again.
NATIONAL FEDERATION OF THE BLIND OF NEBRASKA SENIOR DIVISION SECRETARY'S
REPORT
Monday, February 8, 2021
The NFBN Senior Division met via Zoom on Monday, February 8, 2021.
President Robert Newman called the meeting to order at 7:01 PM CST.
Members present were: President Robert Newman, Vice President Barbara Loos,
Secretary Linda Mentink, Treasurer Cheryl Livingston, Board Member Nancy
Oltman, Chris Boone, Gina Finnell, Brad Loos, Steve Senteney, and Jerry
Whitlow. Guests present were: Warren Bennet and Betsy Stumpf.
Betsy told us a little about herself.
Linda recited our NFB Pledge. Robert will recite it next month.
Attendees shared alternative techniques we use to do things in our daily
lives, including pet care, labeling and organizing food cans, labeling
appliances, marking clothes to tell colors, cutting pie or cake, and
vacuuming.
Linda read the January 2021 Secretary's Report. Barbara asked for
clarification about dues. Cheryl's report does not reflect the dues paid by
Robert, Brad and Barbara because they paid through Paypal.
The Secretary's Report will be made a part of the permanent record of the
organization.
Cheryl read the February 2021 Treasurer's Report as follows:

This report will be made a part of the financial record of the organization.
Robert reported that he has talked to Eric Buckwalter about the
video. Eric said he would like to talk to the committee some evening,
Saturday morning or Sunday afternoon. Barbara will contact Jo and
they will figure something out, probably after Brad feels better.
Chris reported on the Washington Seminar, which is happening
virtually this week. She began by explaining what it's like to be in
Washington, DC, in person. Because it's virtual this year, there are
more people involved: ten who haven't been to Washington Seminar in
at least six or seven years, with eight of those who have never been
before. There are five Congress members from Nebraska, and we have
scheduled meetings with all five offices. She explained the four
initiatives: the Access Technology Affordability Act, the Accessible
Apps and Websites Act, the Nonvisual Access to Medical Devices Act
and the Americans with Disabilities Voting Rights Act.
We shared brags and drags.
Barbara mentioned that Accessible Services for the Blind and Be My
Eyes are hosting a free webinar about talking Glucose Meters for
blind and low-vision Diabetics. The webinar will be held on Friday,
February 12, at 12:00 ET. Anyone interested should contact
info at accessiblepharmacy.com.
There was no further business, so we adjourned at 9:00 PM.
Respectfully submitted,
Linda Mentink, Secretary
