<div><font size="5" face="Arial">Howdy,</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial"><font size="5">I put in italics the concern I have about the
discussion to include the ethics information that was given during the May 18
meeting. What was said was <font face="Times New Roman"><em>during
which one of our members brought up some concerns that she had about the way
that she felt the elections were handled. </em>We voted not to have
the ethics information included in the minutes in order to keep that concern
just among us, but with the sentence above, you have now identified that the
member who had the concern was a female. So in going from "let's not
include it" as we discussed, the member has now been identified as
female. </font></font></font></div>

<div>6/22/13<br><br>The meeting was called to order at 12:30 P.M. Members
present were Linda, Diane, Rita, Melissa, Marty, Dora, Bill, Jessica,
Cody, and Nure. Guests present were Lisa and Everit Gavel Becca and Amanda
Feelix. Rita brought in a form from Ace Hardware for us to get a donation
which we filled out and will submit. <em>There was a brief discussion about
whether or not the minutes from the May 18, 2013 meeting should be
adopted as they were posted to the NFB of Greeley internet mailing list or
whether they should be changed to include a discussion on the April elections
during which one of our members brought up some concerns that she had about
the way that she felt the elections were handled. It was decided after further
discussion and a vote by a majority of the paid members present at this
current meeting, that this conversation need not be included in the minutes
from the May 18th meeting</em> since at this same meeting, a discussion and
review of the election procedures outlined in the newly developed chapter
constitution and how those same procedures were followed during the elections
was undertaken by the membership of the chapter. It was thus explained
that the elections had been conducted in accordance with the newly developed
constitution of this chapter. The minutes were then accepted with the
amendment of the start time of the meeting from 11:15 A.M. to 12:15 P.M. We
have as of 5/31/13 $702.38. We wrote a check for $50 for the BELL Program and
another for $50 for the rental of the park for our September picnic and $200
for the four of us who are going to convention. We currently have
$443.38. We made $140 from the Cafe Mexicalli fundraiser and have $5 from the
payment of Dora's dues that were also deposited. There was some discussion
about putting a donation bucket on each table within the restaurant the next
time we have our Cafe Mexicalli fundraiser in order to
potentially get donations. We need to check and see if we can do this. The
vision expo needs to be marketed to the public now that we are a little more
than a month out. Linda has given Sherry Lobemeyer a copy of the flyer
for the expo and she is going to print it in the newsletter for
the senior center. Linda contacted someone at the tribune who said that
if we email then they will also put the flyer in the calendar of
Events section. We should email the flyer to Kristen Schmidt at <a href="mailto:kschmidt@greeleytrib.com">kschmidt@greeleytrib.com</a>. We talked
about hanging flyers at UNC and Diane said that she would be willing to do
this. Marty will email the flyer for our expo to Tanni Anthony so that it can
be distributed to the TVIS around the state, and we will create an event
on facebook also. Melissa will contact Dana at Aims and has also sent out the
flyer to Becky Porter, a rehab teacher in the area. Jessica suggested having a
meeting with some of the key stakeholders such as Vocational Rehabilitation
either via the phone or in person to discuss why our expo is important to them
and their clients besides dropping off the flyers at their offices. Linda has
not had much success in contacting the Colorado Talking Book Library. Jessica
said that they were on her vendor list and should have gotten the emails she
has sent out. DSS is sponsoring us and is covering the $400 cost
of the room at UNC for the expo. We have firm commitments from Freedom
Scientific, Connections for Independent Living, AKB Vision, Voc Rehab, Insight
Skills Center, Magnisight and the Audio Information Network of Colorado.
Beyond Sight has said that they are 95 percent sure that they will attend. AI
Squared is unable to attend and You Can Too Can will try to attend but will
send catalogs if they can't. We have received literature from The Guide Dog
Foundation, but have not received any from other guide dog schools that were
contacted including the Seeing Eye, Leader Dogs for the Blind and Guide Dogs
for the Blind. LEARNING Ally has also been contacted but we are unsure if they
are coming to our expo. Melissa will contact AGA and Cody will contact USABA.
Cody has contacted people about setting up a committee to work out
demonstrations at the expo. Marty, Nure, Jessica, Cody and Dora are on this
committee. This committee will meet this Monday evening at 7:00 P.M. Regarding
fundraising we are looking at exploring other places that do the same as Cafe
Mexicalli with the coupons that allow a group to earn a percentage of
the proceeds_Noodles and Company and Johnny Korinnos stand out as
possible restaurants for this type of fundraiser. Noodles does their
fundraiser throughout the entire state. Jessica suggested that we see if
Noodles could donate a meal that would feed a certain number of people and we
could sell tickets for $10 a piece or so. We will keep Noodles on the back
burner for now. Cody has been in contact with the president of the local Lions
Club. Melissa and Jessica will present to the Lions Club on July 15th. They
will be focusing their presentation on some of the activities in which our
chapter engages. We discussed making the candy bars and it was decided
that we should begin making them now for the expo. Convention is coming up
next week and we briefly discussed selling the remainder of our water
bottles at convention. Those who have bottles will take them to convention.
Chris has seven bottles and needs to get these to Jessica so that they can be
split up among those from our chapter who are going from the Denver area. The
park for our September 7th picnic is reserved from 10:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. We
discussed marketing our picnic and inviting people in order to
begin our push for the growth of our chapter membership. Everit asked if we
had contacted diabetic equipment manufacturers or Envision America to
demonstrate at our expo. He also suggested that we invite someone
involved with tandem cycling to our picnic to demonstrate how tandem cycling
works and to provide rides as a fun activity. Cody said that he would make up
a flyer for the picnic. He will also contact Lorinda to see about the rules
for public gaming so that we can have a 50-50 raffle at the vision expo. For
us to get a table at the UNC fall Bizarre, we would need to pay $25. We think
that the date of the Bizarre is August 26, but Melissa will verify the exact
date and email the members. We'd also like to have a table at AIMS Welcome
Week, but we are not sure when it is and have been unable to contact anyone at
AIMS to get details. Jessica gave us a quick report on the activities of our
state afiliate The travel raffle has been started again. Tickets are $10 for
one and $20 for three. Purchasers will get their ticket numbers via
email, but not their stubs unless they specifically request them. The BELL
program in West Minster will begin on the 15th of July and run through the
27th. We were unable to have our BELL program in Colorado Springs due to low
numbers of registrants. October 17-20 are the dates of our state convention
which will be held in Colorado Springs. Room rates are $85 across the
board. The Colorado Center for the Blind is having a 25th year anniversary
celebration on September 13-14th. We have a new chapter that has been
established in Fort Collins. It is called the Poudre Valley chapter. The
meeting was adjourned at 2:00 P.M.<br><br>Respectfully submitted,<br>Marty
