Members who attended the National convention in Houston, TX, shared thoughts
about meetings and tours. Barbara talked about some of this year's
resolutions. They are all on the National website.

 

Linda read the June 12, 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 August 14, 2023, Treasurer's Report. It will become a part
of the financial record of the organization.

 

Cheryl mentioned that our 2024 state convention will be April 11-14 in

More information will be coming soon.

will travel there on the 27th.

 

Chris mentioned that our state president is going to step in as the interim
Executive Director of Blind, Inc. She will leave on the 18th of this month

Linda asked about the progress of the videos we were going to produce for
Activity Directors in places where blind Seniors live. A short discussion
followed.
