[Ohio-talk] Hallo-Sketti

[COLLEEN ROTH]

Hello Everyone,
It is important that events be sponsored by Chapters and Divisions and that they be apprroved by the Chapter or Division Board or Membership.
We can't just decide as individuals that we want to do a Fund-raiser no matter how good our intitions are.
If we wanted to have a Fund-raiser in Toledo it would have to be approved by the At Large Chapter and we would have to have a Paper Trail of Expenses and Profit.
Because we are a Chapter scattered all over the State we wouldn't have as many people participating.
Some Chapters do give Scholarships to individuals for Convention.
The NFB of Ohio has asked that donations for Convention Assistance be given to the NFB of Ohio so they can be distributed.
I imagine that if a Chapter wanted to help some of xs' members with a Chapter Sponsored Event that could happen.
DAN didn't vote on having a fund-raiser either.
