Yeah, though I was looking at our luncheon and following gathering to be “the meeting.” Also in saying this, I would erge that we do not spend much if any time on “business/reports” which would drag out a sometimes “not too interesting” part of many meetings. Though, we do need to conduct elections! (Recall, as far as I can recollect, our convention meetings were done as I have described. MMM, unless you were speaking of us holding a Board Meeting (which by rights, is also open to our members)?) <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Thoughts any one?<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Respectfully yours, Robert Leslie Newman<o:p></o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b>From:</b> Nebraska-senior-blind [mailto:nebraska-senior-blind-bounces@nfbnet.org] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Karen Lemmon via Nebraska-senior-blind<br><b>Sent:</b> Tuesday, September 22, 2015 10:26 AM<br><b>To:</b> 'Nebraska Senior Blind Info and Discussion List' <nebraska-senior-blind@nfbnet.org><br><b>Cc:</b> Karen Lemmon <klemmon@bbcwb.net><br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [Nebraska-senior-blind] NFBN Senior division - final copy of August meeting minutes<o:p></o:p></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Hi Robert Et all<o:p></o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif'>I will send out the minutes shortly to you Robert from last night’s meeting although I think you pretty much covered it in this email! One thing though and I may be wrong… won’t we have our October meeting as a face to face meeting sometime during convention or did you want to have another meeting in October via phone? Tim and I will be bringing Steve Senteny to Norfolk but I have to leave Saturday afternoon. Steve and Tim will be leaving before the meetings on Sunday as Tim has to be in Fort Meade, South Dakota at the VA early on the next morning, so if we have a face to face meeting perhaps it could be scheduled sometime between Thursday evening and Saturday afternoon? Something to think about before next Thursdays meeting.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif'>Also the name of the place that I spoke of where we might want to encourage new members to come to convention is the League of Human Dignity in Lincoln. WE have a few who participate in the Ski for Light event that have been found through this organization. In the past years I have also noticed that there are some low visioned or blind folks living in Independent Living situations that also maybe interested. I will get the blurb you write and mail to us about the Fellowship funds available from the NFBN Senior Division in our Panhandle area and perhaps someone down in the East would get that opportunity to other Independent Living apartments in your area???<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif'>Here is League of Human Dignity address:<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><a name="OLE_LINK30"></a><a name="OLE_LINK29"></a><b><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>League of Human Dignity, INC </span></b><b><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'><o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>1701 P Street <o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>Lincoln, Ne 68508-1741<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif'>Also Lions Clubs often know of persons who need some support due to blindness.
