I like John's idea for the "click here" donate blurb vs. having it on the
same page.

 

Also agreed about the phone message. My work hours just increased to 30 per
week and I'm starting my 8 credits of bio/chem for the next three weeks, so
I'm a bit short on time. I'm happy to use my number for a voicemail system,
transcribe the messages, and pass on to someone to give them call backs, but
I don't have the bandwidth to also do the call bakcs. So if it makes more
sense to cut out me as a middle man and have Sally both receive the messages
and do the call backs, maybe that's more efficient?

 

I should be able to grab files for any photos that are currently on our
Facebook page, if any are there that would be good to use (I have no idea
what is on there other than the banner, that one may be a good one). Just
let me know which ones and how/where to send them. 

 

Sincerely,

Natalie

Thanks for the notes Sally! I have a few comments

*	Natalie also offered her phone. Sally and Natalie can decide which
to use imho. But it would be really good to have a special voice mail for
the duration, something like "This is Sally Utt, and this is also the
message center for the Linn Benton Chapter of the National Federation of the
Blind of Oregon's Covid mask delivering project".
*	Having a donate button does seem a little crass, but I do not think
the possibility of donation should be hidden. Perhaps the link should read
"For more information about our NFB chapter or to make a donation supporting
its work, click here" I do think more people will click if the link makes
clear that thee info is about us and not the NFB in general. We could have
links to NFB in our info page of course.
*	We need to get out a presss release so all these people who we are
asking to help us publicize this event have something to say. Hopefully
soon, Kristen will find out about how many masks we can get and whether hand
sanitizer is also available. Then we need Kirk's link. I will volunteer to
help with the press release and to work with Kirk to get the link up as soon
as possible.

Hi All,

 

Sally, our most awesome Chapter Secretary, put the below notes together from
our planning session yesterday.  Please take a look at them to make sure
we're all on the same page.

 

In addition, Sally and I talked a little after our meeting ended last night.
She had a great point that putting the donation option on the registration
page may detract from us presenting this as a community service project.
How would y'all feel about having a different button system - maybe have a
button on the registration page that says ""learn more about NFB activities
and benefits"" which could then link to a second page that highlights our
recent activities and has a donate button at that point?.

 

Finally, does any body have pictures to share?  I never think about social
media when our events are happening.

 

Here's Sally's notes:
