Talk to me about Thirty-One Purses and Gifts!  Great products!
 
 Do you know a blind or visually impaired person?   Ask me how the National Federation of the Blind and The Parents of Blind Children of Ohio can help change attitudes about blindness!

Subject: [Ohio-talk] Some information about the April 21 board meeting

Dear NFB Ohio, 
I just saw Shelbi's and Carol's inquiries and thought I'd best not wait
another minute to update everyone on what is shaping up to be a fabulous
board meeting (at least from the standpoint of creature comforts.)
First, to remind you of the location.  We will be meeting at the Cincinnati
Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired, 2045 Gilbert Ave.,
Cincinnati 45202.  Go in the front door of the building, through the lobby
to the elevator, and get off at the fourth floor.  Turn left off the
elevator, and the community room is just a tad down the hall on your right.
It's a large room filling that corner, so you could turn right and find a
door into it on your left or just keep going straight and find a door on
your right.  If that is confusing, don't worry about it, because it will be
easy as pie when you see it firsthand.  
John Mitchell, CABVI executive director plans to be there to let us in and,
in fact, when I asked about coffee makers last week, he insisted that he
would pick up the coffee for us.  Members of our chapter (probably this very
one) will be picking up very yummilicious pastries from Cicninnati's Buskin
Bakery to go with said coffee.  
Lunch is going to be a rreal treat.  Cincinnati chapter member Marianne
Denning, also a member of the committee to host you all, absolutely insists
on making her original pasta sauce and pasta to feed us all.  She says she
has fed up to 50 with this recipe and loves preparing it.  There will be
both meat and vegetarian versions.  
I plan to add a simple salad to said pasta, and we'll have sodas and such,
as well as famous Busken cookies for dessert.  
The usual $5 donation per person will be very much appreciated by the
Cincinnati chapter.  
It will be very helpful to us if you could let our committee president and
chapter secretary, Paul Dressell, know of your intentions to attend.  
CABVI is a lovely, modern building, and I think you'll enjoy being in it.
John Mitchell will be speaking to us and joining us for lunch, but as far as
any agenda details, those will be coming from our president!  
Incidentally, for those of you who want to spend a little time in Cincinnati
afterward, a five-minute car or taxi ride will put you in the heart of
downtown.  If you plan to come via Greyhound, that, too, is a five-minute
(or less) taxi or car ride away.  
If this information seems disorganized, I apologize.  
On a personal note, I'm a tad distracted because I'm having a large lipoma
removed from my shoulder this afternoon, and getting rather noivous about
it!  My plan was to take more time and write to you all tomorrow, but seeing
the inquiries, realized that people need to know.  
Again, please let Paul know whether you will be attending or not.  
There's the basic information as it currently stands.  Let any of us know if
you have questions.  We might even have answers!

Peace,
Deborah
