REPORT

 

Monday, August 8, 2022

 

The NFBN Senior Division met via Zoom on Monday, August 8, 2022. President
Robert Newman called the meeting to order at 7:00 PM CDT. Members present
were: President Robert Newman, Vice President Barbara Loos, Secretary Linda
Mentink, Treasurer Cheryl Livingston, Board Member Nancy Oltman, Christine
Boone, Jo Boshart, Paula Cellar, Gina Finnell, Geralyn Konruff, Brad Loos,
Steve Senteney, and Jerry Whitlow. Guests present were: Dorothy Babel and
Kathy Brahmer from Nebraska and Richard Thomas from New Jersey.

 

Robert recited our NFB Pledge. Geralyn will recite it next month.

 

Linda read the June 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 August Treasurer's Report. It will be made a part of the
permanent financial record of the organization.

 

Those who attended the National Convention shared highlights. We talked
about a resolution that was passed to get more Federal money for Older
Independent Blind. Robert asked questions. We will discuss our Pledge and
our one-minute message line by line during upcoming meetings.

 

Jerry explained what she does as our membership person. We discussed how to
get in touch with those who have been on our calls before.

 

FUNDRAISING. Paula reported that the committee had a meeting last Saturday
to work out some of the details of the auction. Nancy said that they will
start advertising it in September. They will contact David Andrews about
putting it on the NFBNET list. Robert is writing information up, and will
contact Mike Hansen. Tricia will send pictures for the advertisement. The
committee's next meeting is September 8.

 

Robert has not heard anything from Vanda Pharmaceuticals.

 

Nancy mentioned a show with description that she saw on TV.

 

We talked a little about the summit that will be held August 30 through
September 1.

We shared brags and drags.

 

There was no further business, so we adjourned at 8:33 PM CDT.

 

Respectfully submitted,

 

Linda Mentink, Secretary
