[NFBOH-Cleveland] Reminder

Wed Dec 6 20:29:44 UTC 2017

I just started calling them just to introduce myself. All I have to do is call Shawana, Larry and Alexis. Yes! You’re help would be great!! I’m thinking next week Dec 11 or 12 or Dec 18 and 19th. Anytime after 5pm or 7pm. So far my idea is setting up a blog that I mentioned to you. But I’ll pass it to the others. Thanks!

Owen,

I can help you with the meetings and help call individuals with you.  When are you available?

I will send you their numbers.  You can call them and let them know that they are under your committee.  Then you and I can draft the agenda together.  What day is good to have a meeting.  You should pick two dates.

Suzanne

Suzanne:

I am still not clear on how you exaxtly want me to do and how to lead a meeting nor do I still don’t have the emails of the other members of the Social Media committee.  I’m not clear on how you want me work this out with the other members of my committee. I had emailed you what I would consider a short term goal or an idea to start a blogspot for Cleveland NFB  to post  announcements m, news or suggestions that we are doing. Where we could post things. If you can please call me when you are able to. Thank tou.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.
