[nfbwatlk] Seattle Chapter Meeting

Sat Sep 19 03:05:33 UTC 2009

Greetings all,
Yes I am the webmistress of Oregon's new page.
I am also the Salem Capital city chapter President and  the treasurer of our 
student's division.  I was our state's secretary, but had to resign that 
position due to a heavy school load.
I was testing a couple of things for my page and really didn't mean to 
reply.
However, I did want to wish you all good neighbor greetings.
I plan to join ya'll for your convention.
And Mike, it pleases me to see you interact with your state and members so 
frequently.
Keep it up!!
Renee

>> Hello All,
>>
>> This is to remind you that we are having our monthly meeting of the
>> NFBW Seattle Chapter meeting. The meeting is happening this weekend,
>> Saturday September 19, 2009 from 10:00 - Noon. We meet at the Downtown
>> Seattle YMCA, 909 4th St, between Madison and Marion. Thank you to
>> Josie and Todd Armandtrout who are suppling the goodies for this
>> month.
>>
>> This month you don't want to miss. Kay Burrows has collected a great
>> list of tips for emergency preparedness and other items for those
>> living in King County and around the Puget Sound area. We will discuss
>> the upcoming Fall Convention and the youth activities that will be
>> happening at the convention. We will also hear from Dr. Maurer via the
>> September presidential release.
>>
>> Other items of interest will be planning the November meeting. Those
>> of you who were at our Assistive Tech meeting earlier this year were
>> able to see all the goodies that Mike Mello and Andrea Travis put
>> together. Well, we agreed at that point we would repeat this type of
>> meeting in November and make more people aware of the meeting. Be sure
>> to let us know what piece of equipment you want to show off at our
>> November meeting.
>>
>> We will also talk about the Macy's Shop For A Cause. Earlier this
>> month, I thought that the Shop For A Cause was happening on the 20th
>> of September. Instead, it is happening on the 17th of October. We will
>> be handing out coupons for you to sell to your friend, families,
>> co-workers and neighbors. This voucher / coupon will allow them to
>> take advantage of great savings at the Shop For A Cause event in
>> October. Details will be given at the meeting.
>>
>> We will also be talking about the Holiday Party. Some new ideas are
>> perkelating in my brain and Kay Burrows has agreed to be the
>> co-ordinator once again this year. We are also planning the Holiday
>> Party for the 12th of December as a surprise guest will be coming to
>> town and would like to make the party. Be at the meeting to be sure
>> and get the details and voice your opinion.
>>
>> We are also looking for recipies for the Braille Monitor. Anyone
>> wishing to share his or her favorite recipe will need to email it to
>> myself or Mike Freeman before the end of the month.
>>
>> Don't forget to sell those Braille coins! Time is running out to buy
>> the Louis Braille coin. On December 31, 2009, all unsold coins will be
>> melted down and you will no longer be able to purchase the first ever
>> American coin with true readable braille on it. We as a chapter and as
>> an affiliate need to get the word out to our friends, families,
>> co-workers, neighbors and the man and woman on the street. The sale of
>> these coins will help to ensure that blind children will learn
>> braille. Without braille, we are unable to enjoy much of life and are
>> functionally illiterate. So, sell those coins. We will fill you in on
>> the details of the Louis Braille Coin sale that our affiliate and our
>> national organization has to offer us.
>>
>> Finally, don't forget that we will pull a name of a member of the
>> chapter and that person will win $5! I look forward to you all
>> attending this meeting.
>>
