was called to order at 12:15 PM. People present were Cody, Melissa, Linda,
Marty, Diane, and Bill. Joe Goode, Kevan Worley, JJ Aragon, Cheryl Gross and
Wayne Marshall were all present as guests. The minutes from the last meeting
were accepted as they were posted to the Greeley listserv. Our treasurer's
report indicates that we currently have a balance of $573.72 in our account as
of 1/31/14. We still have $32 from our water bottle sales that Jessica needs to
give to the chapter. We have not had any more orders for candy bars. We
discussed having another Cafe Mexicalli fundraiser in July also. We thought
about doing this<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>the week after we
get back from national convention. We decided to do only one fundraising<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>date this time around. We will be having
our<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>dinner on Saturday May 17th.
Melissa has gotten price quotes for rooms of anywhere between $1000 and $2,000
plus we would have to pay for outside catering. The UCCC recommended that we
check with the rec center which will be much cheaper and we can bring in outside
food. We decided on June 14th as our alternative date in case the 17th of May
does not work out for some reason. Diane said that she would take care of
mailing the candy bars as she already has the packaging material. She also said
that she would be willing to make up white caƱe penns for both national and
state<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>conventions. There was
discussion about perhaps combining this fundraiser with another chapter.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Kevan said that he had been discussing
the idea of having several chapters participate in a project so that we could
raise money both for the afiliate and the chapters at the same time. We also
discussed collaborating with the Aurora chapter. We appointed Linda, Melissa,
Diane and Wayne to a committee to figure out cost, logistics, etc. It was
suggested that Wayne also appoint maybe another two or three people to the
committee from his chapter also. For the dinner, we discussed contacting Noodles
and Company to see if they would be willing to donate food. Diane will contact
them to find out about this. We have not been able to get contact info for the
Lions Club president, so we will do this dinner event on our own. For our New
Perspectives Expo, Cody has not yet received any contact from DSS at UNC as to
whether or not they would be willing to participate again this year with
sponsoring our fare at UNC. There is consensus that they may be willing to
participate again this year, however. We will need people to staff a table at
AIMS in March for their Disability Awareness Week. They would also like us to
once again participate in<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>White
Cane Safety Day in October. Kevan said that the state is beginning a project
with Nike Fuel Bands in collaboration with the United States Association of
Blind Athletes. WE also have a new chapter in Grand Junction called the Grand
Valley Chapter. Dr. Marc Maurer, our national president was in the front row
when President Obama signed the executive order that raised the minimum wage for
workers under federal contracts. The day at the capital will be on Feb. 28th. We
will be talking about obtaining money for Newsline, and we will also be rallying
on the steps of the capital to ask the legislature to consider the proposals
that have been submitted by the director of Rehab to end the waiting list and
order of selection for people with disabilities who are trying to get services
through DVR. In April, we will be doing elections and collecting dues. Our next
meeting is scheduled for Saturday March 15, 2014 from 12:00-2:00 PM. at the
Greeley Senior Center. The meeting was adjourned at 1:00 PM.</SPAN></P>
