SECRETARY's REPORT

Monday, November 14, 2022

The NFBN Senior Division met via Zoom on Monday, November 14, 2022.
President Robert Newman called the meeting to order at 7:03 PM CST. Members
present were: President Robert Newman, Vice President Barbara Loos,
Secretary Linda Mentink, Treasurer Cheryl Livingston, Board Member Nancy
Oltman, Jo Boshart, Bob Burns, Gina Finnell, Melvin Forster, Brad Loos, and

Roberts from Nebraska and Roger Cecchese from New Hampshire.

Bob recited our NFB Pledge. Cheryl will recite it next month.

Our guest speaker was Roger Cecchese of the Legacy Technology Project. The
company's aim is to acquire working or nonworking blindness technology
products which are no longer being sold or supported by the companies that
made them, and to sell them for a fraction of the original cost. They have
been doing this for about 14 years. Phone: 603-827-3859 between 9 AM and 6
PM EST. Mailing address: Voices of Xperience, PO Box 446, Harrisville, New
Hampshire, 03450. Email:  <mailto:1nationundersound at gmail.com>
1nationundersound at gmail.com.

Linda read the October 10, 2022, Secretary's Report. There were no additions
or corrections, so it will become a part of the permanent record of the
organization.

Cheryl read the November 14, 2022, Treasurer's Report. It will become a
permanent part of the financial record of the organization.

Robert said that the auction was a learning experience. He explained the
process. He and Barbara were the only ones who bid. We made $91 on three
hoodies. We agreed that Robert will talk to Tricia and see if we can auction
off the fourth hoodie at our in-person state convention.

Robert reported that he finally heard from Jennifer Lyman from Vanda
Pharmaceuticals. She will get back with him after the first of the year.

Linda reminded us to pay our 2023 membership dues by January.

We talked about different ones we have contacted about our meetings.

We shared brags and drags.

There was no further business, so we adjourned at 8:38 PM CST.

Respectfully submitted,

Linda Mentink, Secretary
