<p class="MsoNormal">Notes below!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The board met to discuss Meet the Blind month activities. Some chapters are having walks on Saturday October 10.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We discussed meeting at a park but determined that doing so would give us limited ability to educate the public during the era of social distancing.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We discussed doing a virtual activity instead. We could create YouTube videos and put them on our channel.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Naim can be the point person for the videos. John will get him connected with our channel.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Christine will distribute an announcement. People should email video links to Naim with the subject “meet the blind month” and desired title in the body.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">They can send their videos as attachments and Naim will upload.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We could create the initial introductory video together and post to the channel.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We discussed sending Chris Walker a condolence for his father’s death and small gift card. Chapter members can make contributions to the gift card purchase via Venmo.<o:p></o:p></p>
