NFBN SENIOR DIVISION SECRETARY's REPORT

Monday, February 13, 2023

The NFBN Senior Division met via Zoom on Monday, February 13, 2023. In the
absence of President Robert Newman, Vice President Barbara Loos presided
over the meeting. She called the meeting to order at 7:10 PM CST. Members
present were: Vice President Barbara Loos, Secretary Linda Mentink,
Treasurer Cheryl Livingston, Board Member Nancy Oltman, Dorothy Babel,
Christine Boone, Jo Boshart, Melvin Forster, Ruth Garrison, Brad Loos, Doug
Peterson, Steve Senteney, and Jerry Whitlow. Guests present were: Deb Mauer
from Nebraska and Tom Anderson from Kansas.

Linda recited our NFB Pledge. Chris will recite it next month. Jerry will
say it if Chris isn't here.

Barbara shared a little about divisions, groups and committees.

Our guest speaker was Tom Anderson, President of the NFB in Communities of
Faith. He shared a little about himself, and then about the division. We
believe that people should be fully involved in their worship community,
which is why the division was organized. We want to educate faith community
leaders about blindness. Tom answered questions. Tom's cell number is (303)
842-9661. His email address is tanderson81452 at gmail.com
<mailto:tanderson81452 at gmail.com> .

Linda read the January 9, 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 February 13, 2023, Treasurer's Report. It will become a part
of the financial record of the organization.

Barbara suggested that, if we think of people who haven't been here lately,
we should contact them and let them know we miss them and care about them.

Barbara mentioned that our motions about our convention meeting didn't work
out. There will not be any division luncheons. We have three hours, with the
first hour being our business meeting and the other two hours being
dedicated to David Denotaris and what he has planned. She also mentioned
other things on the convention agenda.

Nancy mentioned that February 17-21 the At-Large Chapter will be selling
popcorn from the same company as the Community Service Division. They will
receive 50%. They will also be selling food and beverages during the early
part of the days of our state convention.

We shared brags and drags.

There was no further business, so we adjourned at 8:52 PM CST.

Respectfully submitted,

Linda Mentink, Secretary
