<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>Thank you for sending in ideas. Monica, I spoke with Kelly
yesterday in fact about the seminar and she is definitely interested. I also
like the idea of having a history/philosophy mpannel for Q&A. I will talk
to Christine for the two room idea. I am thinking in the morning would be a
good idea to have us as the NMABS board introduce everyone to the student
division then ask Christine to give an update on what she knows from each of
the chapters around the state instead of having all the presidents give their
own speeches and that would give a good idea of the state level and how we work
with them as much as we can. I’d also like to request that Darian come out for
the seminar if you can, please? I’d like to have you their to help and also to
give a National student update, possibly? Let me know. I love the idea of
having Cheryl coming and helping with history of NMABS.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>As far As far as I know, Pizza Hut is still offering any
size of pizza for $10. Also, having 2 rooms sounds like a very good plan. I
agree that we should keep the breaks during this seminar to a minimum. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Hey Tara, <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>How about two rooms. More than that and you might have
people just wandering the halls and not really involved on one particular
seminar. I can't think of the particular pizza place right now, but there
is one doing any pizza for ten dollars. That will help keep expenses low
and more choices for students. As far as having breaks, you want to be
careful doing that. Any break over five minutes and we might lose
interest and again have wanderers. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>Perhaps someone from the commission tech services can come
and give a talk about new technology, along with some samples that students can
see during the break and/or at a later point in the seminar. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>Presidents from the different areas: Alamogordo, Los Cruces,
Albuquerque East Side, Albuquerque West Side and others can possibly give
updates on what their specific divisions are doing this year. This will
also show students that we as NMABS are advocating for the entire state, not
just Albuquerque. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>As for activities, how about talking about our upcoming
goalball team and what we need to do to continue moving forward with that
project. Many are interested but we still have a lot to do to make it
happen.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>When to have the registration forms returned by-I would
think a week (November 5) would be reasonable. Is there a charge for
registration? <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>They can send it back to me if you would like me to be in
charge of that. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>I am willing to be the contact for this event. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>Can Christine come and explain the different job positions
for each board/officer position? If so, that would be fabulous. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>Perhabs we can have Cheryl come and talk about the history
of NMABS. Since she is the one that signed our original documentation
into the National Federation of the Blind. Speaking of history, why not
have Art, Christine or Tonia talk about the history of the NFB? Many of
us don't know how it started originally. We should know the base of what
we have our division on. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>Anyway, those are just a few thoughts I had for contributing
to the seminar.<o:p></o:p></p>
