[NFBF-Tampa] Are 2024 goals and ideas

Sun Jan 28 18:18:36 UTC 2024

Hi, Miranda and all:
Would like to have another pancake breakfast in the summer.  We made some good funds from that.
I also like the idea of having some kind of vision expo with a couple of docs and a low vision specialist as speakers.  This could be done at the Lighthouse where there is space unless you know of an area such as the Lions Institute in Ybor City which might give us a free area to use.
One more thing, would love to bowl again.  That gathering was fun.

Good morning all,
Please see the below email that I previously wrote regarding some ideas I have for the chapter. This is where everyone writes in what they would like to see happen. Please keep in mind of the ones that were previously spoken upon at our last meeting I will briefly put them below, and no particular order.

Comedy club
 Tampa museum.
Hart Plus application assessability.
St. Patrick’s Day event in Brandon.
2025 Gasparilla.

In addition to my email below, I am adding indoor skydiving.

If I forgot an idea that you have mentioned, I do apologize and as you add it to the list. Looking forward to hearing from all of you. 
Good afternoon all,
Those who have replied that they will not be in our next meeting, you truly will be missed. However, you still have time to get your ideas and goals in. So, I will start some suggestions. These suggestions are in no particular order of significance.
I would like to see the chapter do a gala. This Gayla would be a fundraiser, but it also would be an outreach project. Perhaps we can connect with an eye Doctor or someone along those lines, to  be a keynote speaker. I would say October, because that is Blind achievement equality month, but I think there is too much competition and we might not get the attendance we are looking for. I’m suggesting February 2025, this gives us quite a bit of time to plan and execute such event.

A car wash, perhaps we can connect with other organizations, such as the fire department to raise funds, and for a community outreach project. This would allow the community to see us doing things out in the community. I am also suggesting for us to look into doing something at the 2025 Gasparilla. Whether it is having a table, advertising who we are, and what we do, fundraising, or just getting together and enjoying the festivities.

Zoo Tampa. I would like to see a social event where we have a behind-the-scenes experience with animals and other things that the zoo could offer.
