<DIV> </DIV>Hi all,<BR><BR>Please find the meeting minutes from the last
meeting below. Thanks.<BR><BR>1/18/14<BR><BR>The meeting was called to order at
12:20 PM. People present were Melissa, Marty, Cody, Linda, Bill, and Rita. Joe
Goode was present as a guest. the December minutes were accepted as posted to
the Greeley List. The treasurer's report says that we have a balance of $502.72
which doesn't include the deposit of $71 made on January 2nd. This was from
candy bars sales. This gives us a total balance of $573.72. Linda doesn't think
that the check for $50 we wrote to the state has gone through yet. Cody will
check with the state to see about the check and will also check on getting the
money from Jessica that she still owes us for the water bottles she sold. We
have the account set up on Paypal, but it is not yet connected to our bank
account. Linda had to receive a new debbit card for our checking account and has
yet to enter this info into the Paforpal account. Re: fundraising, Melissa
said that to ship an order of candy bars out of state to New Mexico, it costed
the chapter $18.92. To ship an order to Denver, it cost us about $13. We need to
decide whether or not we want to purchase our own packing materials or whether
to charge people more for the cos of shipping. It was also suggested that we
check with the post office to see how much it would cost us to ship a package if
it has already been packed. Cody asked if we wanted to set prices today so that
we can tell people how much shipping will be in addition to what we are
charging per candy bar. Bill said that we could figure about $3 to ship each
bar. We agreed to let people know that each bar will now cost $7 a bar. This
includes $4 for the bar and $3 for the cost of shipping each bar. Melissa said
that people were asking if it was possible for us to make bars with other
designs besides the molds we currently have. There was agreement that getting
molds custom made might cost too much. We tabled this idea for now. We then
moved to discussing a big fundraiser such as a dinner we could put on perhaps
with the help of the local Lions Club. Cody feels that we want to put together
an event which will allow us to target more people. He said that we should try
to see if the district Govenor would help us out since our local club is so
small. He will see if he can get contact info for the district govenor from
Jessica or if Jessica wants to reach out and make the contact since she already
knows this person. We also agreed that we need to have a backup plan in case we
can't get help from the Lions Club. We need to start looking for a place to have
our event and to plan volunteers and ways to get food donated. There is
consensus that this type of fundraiser is doable. Cody suggested that we
all think of and contact various places in the community to which we have
connections in order to see if we can find a place to hold our dinner. He also
suggested that we look into Noodles and Company to see if they might be
willing to donate food. Melissa suggested that we look at May and
centering our dinner around Mother's Day which would be the 10th of May. Joe
said that he had a couple coworkers who were good at fundraising and he will see
what suggestions they may have. We agreed to begin trying to find a place and
trying to contact the Lions. Some of the places that were suggested for members
to call were churches, UNC, Bonelle, Greeley Place and the city
libraries. The two dates we will look at in May are the 3rd and the 17th. Cody
will check with the Lions Club and see about finding out other places we can
contact. Melissa will call her church, UNC, the libraries and UCCC. We
then moved on to a discussion of the New Perspectives Expo and whether we
wish to do it again this year. There was agreement that we should try to have it
around the mid to end of August and try to see about doing it again at
UNC. We can make sure that in our advertising, we gear it to all age groups as
well as specify that it is for all types of people including those with low
vision. Over the next s"everal minutes, many things were discussed including
whether we may be taking on too much with both the fundraising dinner and the
vision expo, and the fact that we wanted to continue the relationship with the
Disability Services office at UNC. Cody will see if UNC is receptive to doing
the fare again. We also have events coming up at AIMS such as the Disability
Awareness Month and National White Cane Safety Day in October with which we will
be helping. The day at the Capital will be on February 28th from 9:00-12:00 PM
in Denver. The afiliate is willing to help cover transportation and hotel room
costs. There is also an open board meeting that will be held that evening that
all are welcome to attend. Among the legislative issues we will be working to
susport are obtaining more money for Newsline and AINC, strengthening the
braille bill and supporting the antiddirimination against people with
disabilities act. We then talked about the Iphone seminar and planning this for
February. We discussed having our seminar run for about 2 hours so that we
can astract as many people as possible and get through as much info as possible.
We will hold the seminar on February 15th from 1:00-3:00 PM. We will try to hold
a brief chapter meeting before the seminar if everyone can arrive by noon, and
then schedule a conference call some time the folllowing week to discuss any
matters to which we don't get before the seminar begins. Cody will work on the
flyer advertising the seminar and will try to get it to Melissa by Monday night.
Melissa said that we got a thank you card from North Range Behavioral
Health thanking us for the donations from the chapter. Kristy also sent us
a thank you note as well. The meeting was adjourned at 1:40
