We discussed a fund-raising bake sale on Saturday, Oct 30, in Concord, tying 
into a Halloween theme.



Ed Meskys was going to check walmart and steeplegate mall for possible 
sites, and Steve Yerardi and Deb Moore was going to look for Halloween 
events we could tie into. Andrew Harmon was going to look into Eagle Square.



We decided to meet again the following Tuesday, to finalize bake sale 
details.



Meeting was adjourned about 9:10 PM.

Steve Yerardi and Deb Moore reported failure at finding any hallowe'en 
celebrations we could piggyback our bake sale on. Ed Meskys reported that 
Steeplegate Mall does not permit fund raising events on its premesis, and 
the lady who covers permission by walmart is away until Sept 13. We 
discussed bake sales at poll sites on election day, but that venue is 
already taken in most towns.



Andrew Harmon brought up the fund-raising events taking place in a festival 
in Florida, as reported on nfbnet.org, and suggested we might try doing a 
"dining in the dark" event. It was brought up that National frowns on events 
simulating blindness because the sighted participants, without training, 
become even more frightened of blindness. He also suggested that we look at 
some other events from that festival.



We considered doing a fund-raising dinner, perhaps with musical 
entertainment,  and selling tickets. We would need a place to host it, and 
perhaps help us put it on. Marie Johnson had worked with an Episcopal church 
in the Concord area, which had been very helpful, with most parishioners 
supporting the dinner. Unfortunately we no longer have a contact there. A 
few years ago the Friendship Club in Nashua had hosted some fund-raising 
dinners for the Gate City chapter, but David Brownell reports that they have 
pulled themselves in and do nothing with other groups. We will consider a 
future dinner if details can be worked out, but this is not a priority for 
now.



We finally decided that each chapter would do its own bake sale for the 
affiliate, aiming for Oct 30.



We discussed trying to help the North Country chapter with its magic show on 
September 17. As always, transportation is a problem. We need to know 
whether the show is a day-time or evening event.



We decided to re-convene Tuesday Sept 14 at 8:30 PM.



Meeting was adjourned about 9:30 PM.
