*3: Agenda 

*4: The NFB Pledge 

*5: Last month's reports

 


*1: Topic 


First- We will listen to the Presidential Release and discuss its theme. 

Secondly, we talk over plans for our convention meeting. It will be Saturday
morning, March 29th, for two hours.

Jamie has found us a guest speaker. Here is the information about who she is
and what she represents: Jamie was contacted by Becky Korinek with Outreach
Patient Advocates in Omaha. She is interested in doing a presentation during
our convention. They are based out of the Omaha area, so it won't pertain to
all attendees, but I wondered if you would be interested in having her speak
during the Senior division Workshop. It could get people thinking about
services in their area and things to have in place if services are ever
needed.

 

Here is the website so you can learn more.

NATIONAL FEDERATION OF THE BLIND OF Nebraska SENIOR DIVISION MEETING MINUTES

 

Monday, January 13, 2025

 

The NFBN Senior Division met via Zoom Monday, January 13, 2025. President
Robert Newman called the meeting to order at 7:02 PM CST. Members present
were: President Robert Newman, Vice President Barbara Loos, Secretary Linda
Mentink, Treasurer Cheryl Livingston, Board Member Nancy Oltman, Chris
Boone, Bob Burns, Monte Ekern, Melvin Forster, Brad Loos, Doug Peterson,
Sheryl Rogge, Steve Senteney, and Jerry Whitlow. Guests present were: Jo
Boshart, Kathy Brahmer, Terry Long, and Eli and Emily Sidders.

 

Robert recited our NFB Pledge. Jo will recite it next month.

 

Robert played the January Presidential Release for chapters, which focused
mainly on paying 2025 membership dues and finances. We discussed membership
and family dynamics. PAC funds go where they're needed, such as our BELL
Academy and free white canes and slates and styluses. Bob suggested that
Robert send out an email asking if anyone is interested in being on the PAC
plan. Barbara and Jamie sent one out about a month ago, and got one
response.

 

Linda read the November 18, 2024, Secretary's Report. There were no
additions or corrections, so it will become a part of the permanent record
of the organization.

 

Cheryl Livingston read the January 13, 2025, Treasurer's Report. It will
become a part of the financial record of the organization.

 

Bob moved, Cheryl Livingston seconded, that the Senior Division make
available up to $300 (amended to $500) for convention assistance, and
applicants need to apply to Robert Newman by March 1 (amended to February
25). The motion carried.

 

Chris gave a rundown of the state convention agenda. The Commission may have
a bus tour starting in Hastings on Wednesday. There will be transportation
across the state starting on Thursday. We will sell clickers again this
year.

 

We shared brags and drags.

 

There was no further business, so we adjourned at 9:00 PM CST.

 

Respectfully submitted,

 

Linda Mentink, Secretary
