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, it’s a long name!  Otherwise, I 
think the report
is fine.

 The NFBN Senior Division met via Zoom on Monday, April 11, 2022.

CST.
 Members present were: President Robert Newman, Vice President 
Barbara Loos,
 Secretary Linda Mentink, Treasurer Cheryl Livingston, Board 
Member Nancy
 Oltman, Chris Boone, Jo Boshart, Paula Cellar, Melvin Forster,

present
 were: Dorothy Babel, George Fischer, Marie Morello, Jamie 
Richey, and Neva
 Robinson from Nebraska, Michael Babcock from Oregon, Patricia 
Maddix from
 Washington, and Beth Wright from North Carolina.

 Barbara recited our NFB Pledge.  Jo will recite it next month.

 Our guest speaker was Michael Babcock, one of the A.  T.  Guys.  
This is a
 company based in Kalamazoo, Michigan.  They were started in 2008 
to be our
 access technology experts.  They have around 112 products, many 
of which he

 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
 Tanya Armstrong who will be replacing her as Campus 
Administrator of the
 Nebraska Center for the Edcucation of the Blind and Visually 
Impaired.

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

 We shared brags and drags.

 There was no further business, so we adjourned at 9:05 PM CST.

 Respectfully submitted,

 Linda Mentink, Secretary
