plan to get as many leaders from the NFB's various national divisions to

NFBN SENIOR DIVISION MEETING SECRETARY's REPORT

 

Monday, December 12, 2022

 

The NFBN Senior Division met via Zoom on Monday, December 12, 2022.
President Robert Newman called the meeting to order at 7:06 PM CST. Members
present were: President Robert Newman, Vice President Barbara Loos,
Secretary Linda Mentink, Treasurer Cheryl Livingston, Board Member Nancy
Oltman, Chris Boone, Bob Burns, Gina Finnell, Melvin Forster, and Brad Loos.
Guests present were: Doug Peterson and Ruth Schmeits from Nebraska, Jo Ann

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

 

We shared old and new Christmas traditions, meals and memories.

 

Linda read the November 14, 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 December 12, 2022, Treasurer's Report. The ending balance
was corrected. It will become a permanent part of the financial record of
the organization.

 

Robert reminded us to pay our 2023 membership dues.

 

Barbara mentioned the passing of Scott LaBarre. She mentioned our division
fund-raiser at the affiliate Board meeting.

 

Chris reported that Washington Seminar is coming up. Jeremy and Jamie Richey
are registered but are not sure they will be able to attend. Becca Stevens
is thinking about going. We really need someone to go. The dates are January
30-February 1. Financial assistance is available, but members are encouraged
to pay what they can.

 

Cheryl gave a little summary of the state board meeting. Transportation will
be available for those attending our upcoming state convention, but the
details aren't worked out yet. 

 

We shared brags and drags.

 

There was no further business, so we adjourned at 8:36 PM CST.

 

Respectfully submitted,

 

Linda Mentink, Secretary
