Thanks so much Evelyn.

 

It looks like we have a growing consensus among board members that we should secure a half table and at least be present to answer questions and let people know about the chapter. 

 

I’ll being the process of securing the table.

 

Stay tuned,

Good afternoon to all, 

I really think that GAC should have half a table since we are a new chapter and we need to get the word out. If we can get our hands on something extremely inexpensive that we can hand out and  that everyone can benefit from using. I am not that creative—suggestions? Also, we should have at least two people staffing the table. We should be ready to take down contact info from individuals so we can provide additional details about the chapter and its activities. I don’t think we should hand out flyers because that’s costly. If there is a newly blinded person that comes to the table, we should be ready to answer some of their questions about services in the Alexandria area or what this chapter provides. If it’s an existing Federationist that is looking into joining a new chapter, we should be ready to talk about the various topics of interest that our chapter can offer and of course, ensure we will take down their contact info and follow-up. 

That’s all I have for now.

Hello.  I'm willing to help out with the booth but not sure to hand out.  Maybe we can design a flyer stating our mission, structure, upomint activities, next meeting date and time...And we could have a bowl of candy on the table!

 

Thought?

Good evening!

 

So, what do you all think? We won’t have a meeting to discuss this before the October 12 deadline to request a table… Should the Greater Alexandria Chapter have half a table? If so, will people be willing to help staff it? What should we offer folks who come by? Information? $10 bills? 

 

Thoughts are welcome.

Is your Chapter interested in participating in the State Convention Exhibit Hall on Friday November 3?  Interested chapters will be provided with half of an exhibit table to use however they want.  The chapters that request exhibit space can determine how they want to use their allotted space, and who from their chapter will be at the table during the exhibit hours.  Interested Chapters must send me an e-mail no later than October 12 to reserve space.  The e-mail needs to contain:

 

o   Chapter/Division name

o   Name, e-mail and phone number for the Chapter’s or Division’s contact person. 

o   Brief description of what you will be doing. 

o   Indicate whether you will need access to an electrical outlet.  You must provide your own power strip.  Bringing your own heavy duty extension cord is strongly encouraged.

 

Attached to this message is the Chapter and Division Exhibit Invitation which includes important details about exhibiting and registering to exhibit.  Please do not hesitate to contact me if I can be of further assistance.

 

Looking forward to seeing you in just over a month!
