Conference call board meeting Wednesday, Oct 27, 2010, called to order about
8:35 PM. All board members present except Wayne Harvey and Donald Little. No
guests present.
President McNabb reported that the Monadnock Chapter was preparing for its
bake sale on Oct 30. Ed Meskys reported that the Lakes Region Chapter,
because it had few members who do baking, would make a donation to the state
affiliate and sell candy and pass out literature as its Meet the Blind Month
activity.
Treasurer Fergesan reported that the state affiliate had received three $25
donatons in memory of member Freeman Downing who had died August 24.
President McNabb also pointed out that April 14-16 was not definite as the
dates of the convention, but it would be sometime during April, 2011. Since
the dates are not locked down, we do not yet have hotel reservations.
We are still planning for an in person board meeting at the Concord Common
Man on Saturday, December 11, 11 A.M., with a Yankee gift swap as the fun
opener. After lunch the official meeting will begin. All interested persons
are VERY welcome to attend. You do not have to be an officer or even a
member of the NFB.
We will have one more conference call board meeting on a date to be
announced later. [Since then the call has been scheduled for Tuesday, Nov
30, at 8:30 PM.]
We discussed the problems updating our state section of Newsline, but Steve
Yerardi said he is working on it. He is also working on trying to get an
up-to-date state website.
Concerning Washington Seminar, some Federationists will gather in Florida on
Saturday, Jan 29, for the Daytona 500 car race which will be opened by a
blind Federationist driving a specially modified car around the race track.
Then people, including us, will be there in Washington by Monday, Jan 31for
the in-gathering meeting that evening, She suggested we arrive on Sunday. we
will visit our congress persons on Tuesday, Feb 1, and return home on
Wednesday, Feb 2. The state affiliate will pay for the hotel rooms, one or
more men's dorms and one of more women's dorms, and it will be up to the
individual delegates to provide transportation and incidental expences.
