[Nfbf-l] Daytona visit

[Gina Minichiello]

I had a great time as well. 
I have never been a part of another chapter, nor visited one. 
There were a few things done in the Daytona meetings that I would like our chapter to try. I recommend, if at all possible, a visit to another chapter. 
I especially loved the spacious private meeting space. 
Lenora did an excellent job with her talk about the parents division. She is extremely knowledgible with issues that parents of blind children face and resources to help their children. 

I am looking forward to next week in St. Augustine. This will be our first official NFB Day Off. We work hard for the NFB, so we deserve some fun time too. This will give us the opportunity to bond socially and boost chapter morale. This can also help with recruitment since some may be attracted to the fun activities. I am so glad the Greater Dayona Chapter decided to join us.

Lenora & Eric Marten , Gina, & myself attended the Greater Daytona Beach Chapter meeting today.
We were warmly welcomed, by Sabrina Deaton, the chapter President, and the membership It was good to see Kathy Davis. Allen Bornstein,  and Pat Lapovsky and meet knew people. The talks that were given by Lenora and Chris were interesting and inspiring.  I enjoyed the visit. The Jacksonville and Daytona Chapters will have a joint NFB day off in Saint Augustine next Saturday. We will let you all know how it was when we get back. 

Thank you Daytona.
