There is currently a $5 monthly charge for our savings account.

Under old business: Question was raised again about providing business cards to the public with pertinent Ohio service dog information clarifying the law and penalties for denial.  We are checking printing cost from Clovernook. We discussed possibly putting a QR code on the cardt would give more detailed information. 

Committee assignments:
Jackie will take charge of the gavel report.
Deanna Lewis will chair fundraising.
Marianne and debbie will do the education
Committee.

Marianne suggested that we have either quarterly or bi-monthly special meetings focusing on guide dogs or navigation  apps. We perhaps might ask representatives from each guide dog school to talk with us. Also perhaps talk about navigation apps. If we want to do these special events we need to set a day and time so we can schedule the Ohio zoom room. 
We might partner with the community services committee to talk about the OKO app in March. Community service division is okay with that. Marianne made a motion to start this education series with community services division and try to get an OKO representative in March. The motion passed. 

The meeting was adjourned at 8:30. PM.  
Respectfully submitted,
Paula Jordan (Acting secretary.)
