Thanks Cheryl. Yes, it is a long name, and I thought I got it
right. I'll fix it!

Linda,
I do see a slight error in the name of the school at Nebraska
city. First,
you put a C instead of a U in education and the name of the
school is
actually Nebraska Center for the education of children who are
blind or
visually impaired. I know, itâs a long name! Otherwise, I
think the report
is fine.

216-4798 and the website is http:atguys.com.
Linda read the March Secretary's Report. There were no
additions or
corrections, so it will be made a part of the permanent record
of the
organization.
Cheryl read the April Treasurer's Report. It will be made a
part of the
financial record of the organization.
Robert mentioned a fund-raising opportunity from Vanda
Pharmaceuticals. A
form will need to be filled out for them, and we need some
goals. Chris
moved, Jerry seconded, that we make application to Vanda
Pharmaceuticals
for a grant in order to be used to benefit blind seniors. The
motion
carried.
Barbara read a letter from Tricia Waechter of Blind Girl Designs
concerning possible donations which we could auction off for
another
fund-raiser. After discussion, we formed a committee to work
out the
details. Committee members are Paula, Jo and Nancy.
Jo is on a crusade: anyone who reads Braille should call the
library and
ask for an eReader.
Jamie mentioned our upcoming state board meeting April 23rd at
the
Graduate Hotel in Lincoln at 9:00 AM. Anyone who doesn't have a
membership
coin should let either her or Jerry know.
Barbara Loos mentioned the April live Presidential Release. She
mentioned
that Dan Parker broke the Guinness record for the fastest
blindfolded
driver. April 16 will be the We Are with U concert at 1:00 PM
CST. The
Ukrainian School for the Blind was bombed. There will be an
open house on
Friday, May 13, to celebrate Sally Schreiner's retirement and to
welcome

Impaired.
Chris mentioned that the Lincoln Chapter will be enjoying the We
Are with
U concert together. Jamie will put the information on our
