              David Houck gave the Center report and he gave a Fun Day
Festival report.  Columbia slacked off in Fun Day ticket sales by letting a
small chapter of the NFB of SC sell more tickets!  The Loris Chapter sold
the most tickets and received the $300 for their treasury.  Its President,
Alma Lee Doyle sold the winning ticket and she received $50 and sold it to
Vincent Powell of Loris who received $500.  Let's work harder on the
upcoming Orlando bus ticket sales!  New lighting has been installed at the
Center which yields more lighting at a reduced cost.  

              The funds received at the meeting were as follows:  $51 for
van money, $34 for the 50-50 raffle and $68.29 in the freewill offering.
Congratulations to the Capps for winning the 50-50 drawing!  See you for all
the October activities as October is Meet the Blind month!
