I absolutely agree with Barbara: We should leave the opening line as it is. First of all, we do not read the Title as she says, and secondly I think it is important that our minutes reflect the manner in which we meet. We meet always via Zoom except at conventions, and other states or future NFBN Seniors might find that information to be helpful when they cannot figure out how to get seniors from all across our state to drive to Lincoln for a meeting every month. 
Just my thoughts.
