NATIONAL FEDERATION OF THE BLIND OF NEBRASKA SENIOR DIVISION MEETING
SECRETARY's REPORT

Monday, May 8, 2023

The NFBN Senior Division met via Zoom on Monday, May 8, 2023. President
Robert Newman called the meeting to order at 7:11 PM CDT. Members present
were: President Robert Newman, Vice President Barbara Loos, Secretary Linda
Mentink, Treasurer Cheryl Livingston, Board Member Nancy Oltman, Bob Burns,
Melvin Forster, Brad Loos, and Doug Peterson. Guests present were: Jo
Boshart, Kathy Brahmer and Deb Mauer.

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

We listened to a podcast on the new All Terrain cane. Barbara read a
description of the various types of cane tips available.

Linda read the April 10, 2023, 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 March 13, April 10 and May 8, 2023, Treasurer's Reports.
They will become a part of the permanent financial record of the
organization.

Robert mentioned that he will be sending a $500 check to Cheryl from Vanda
Pharmaceuticals. He will mail a thank-you note to Jennifer Lyman.

State Board Meeting: Nancy mentioned that we will not be having a table at
our national convention this year, but will be selling raffle tickets. We
will be reorganizing a Parents of Blind Children Division and a deafblind
committee. Cheryl mentioned that financial assistance is available from our
affiliate for those who need it to attend the national convention. The
application deadline is May 10.

Barbara talked a little about sending and collecting Nebraska history. The
committee is making progress. Anyone having photos or videos of our 2023
state convention, or chapter or division minutes, should send them to
history at ne.nfb.org <mailto:history at ne.nfb.org> .

We shared brags and drags.

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

Respectfully submitted,

Linda Mentink, Secretary
