This sounds like a good idea.  As large as Cleveland is two meetings are
advisable.

Subject: [Ohio-talk] idea for strengthening membership in Cleveland area

There was a good telephone conference last night with NFB members from the
Cleveland And Cuyahoga Chapters in attendance, and I want to thank Eric for
setting it up and leading the discussion. 

 

We spoke of several ways that we might strengthen the NFB in Greater
Cleveland and get rid of the impression that the Cleveland and Cuyahoga
Chapters are at odds with each other.  One suggestion I made is that, when
we meet new people and potential members,  we always tell them that there
are two Chapters in the Cleveland area, one meeting on Friday night and the
other on Saturday morning, and invite them to come to either or both of the
meetings. 

 

To take this a step further, I was thinking that it might be good for our
Chapters to print a business card saying something like:

 

National Federation of the Blind

 

Cleveland Chapter (Phone number)

Friday night meetings at Cleveland Sight Center

 

Cuyahoga County Chapter (Phone number)

Saturday morning meetings at Tick Tock Tavern

 

This would be a concrete statement of our being joined together in one
cause. It would also be a practical way for people to be able to contact us.


 

Just wanted to put the idea out there. Any feedback is appreciated!
