Hi Barbara and all,<br><br>
He can play any MP3 file on the digital talking book player, as long as
either that's all that's on the thumb drive or they are in a folder
called audio+podcasts on a drive with talking books. A thumb drive with
only MP3 files on it need not have that folder. I hope that's
clear.<br><br>
Blessings,<br><br>
Linda<br><br>

Gene is interested in potentially joining us. He is not available
tonight, but he does have the call in information now, although he wrote
it down and will need to have someone else read it to him. He would like
to receive things in a form that would be playable on the digital talking
book machine. I don't know if we have that capability, but told him we
would do our best to get him information, including Cheryl's address, in
that way. suggestions, anyone?<br><br>

Lemmon, Treasurer Cheryl Livingston. Board member Becky McCullough and

Mentink. Also guests Walter Hively and Della Johnston.<br><br>
<br><br>
The NFB Pledge was recited<br><br>
<br><br>
Secretary Lemmon using JAWS read the Secretary and Treasurer’s report
from January. The motion to approve the secretary’s minutes was made by
Geralyn and seconded by Linda. Motion carried.<br><br>
<br><br>

balance of $834.95 with only one check of $10 written during the month
and no deposits. Becky motioned that the Treasurer’s minutes be
approved as read Karen seconded. Motion carried unanimously. <br><br>
<br><br>
President Newman asked Cheryl Livingston if the approval of the revised
Senior Division Constitution by the NFBN State Board had been on the
agenda at the January State Board Meeting. Cheryl did not recall that
this topic was on the agenda but agreed to follow up with State President
Buresh; in March of 2015, a revised constitution of the Division, was
sent for approval, and we’ve not heard back. <br><br>
<br><br>
The philosophical topic was blindness skills and tricks for cooking.
Discussion of measuring ingredients, types of cooking stoves, frying

President Newman covered the process for becoming a member of the Senior
Division; dues are $10.00 per year, a subscription to the NFB’s
“Braille Monitor.” In addition, he commented that our monthly
meetings via tele-conferencing could be attended by anyone and membership
is not a requirement; a great way to allow a prospective member to view
what we are all about.<br><br>
<br><br>

Year plans to better themselves.<br><br>
