[Nfb-kzoo] Some important topics to discuss

[J.J. Meddaugh]

Hello. I'm able to attend, but probably don't have a big enough place to 
host more then 5-6 people comfortably. Depends on your definition of 
comfortable.



Best Regards,

> Previous meeting: Attendance at our November meeting was quite low.  While 
> we realize that everyone in our chapter is busy and has other obligations, 
> we need to all remember to be responsible to the other members and let 
> them know if we will not be attending a meeting.  This is especially 
> important if you are a board member, because if the meeting is not 
> productive, it can be rather costly for some people with transportation, 
> food, babysitting, etc. So please be courteous and contact someone on the 
> board to let them know if you will be missing a meeting.  If not enough 
> board members are available, it may be most beneficial to hold a phone 
> conference instead.

> Meeting on December 15: We would like to know how many people plan to 
> attend this meeting.  Tyler and I have a conflict that evening because 
> there is a gathering for the Michigan Blind Athletic Association that same 
> evening and Tyler is also a board member with that organization.  So 
> please let us know if you will make the meeting so we can decide if the 
> meeting will take place.

> Christmas party: We did not discuss plans for a Christmas party at our 
> November meeting due to the low attendance.  In past years, one of our 
> chapter members has offered their home and hospitality for a Christmas 
> gathering and it has been a lot of fun.  This usually took place instead 
> of a December meeting.  I can say that with Tyler's graduation and my 
> responsibilities as a youth goalball coach (among others), we will not be 
> available to host, but we might be able to attend.  So if anyone else 
> would like to throw a Christmas gathering at their home, or if the group 
> would prefer to have a little celebration in collaboration with our 
> December meeting, please throw out your ideas and we'll see what we can 
> do.  I hope we can put something together.  It would be our preference to 
> cancel the meeting and do a Christmas party instead, but that depends on 
> whether someone is willing to host.

> We look forward to hearing some thoughts from all of you.
