<br>
We discussed the use of Zoom for chapter meeting conference calls. Several expressed concern about the complexity of Zoom compared to Free Conference Call which we are using now. Jack Memdez, an experienced user of the platform, offered a number of helpful
suggestions. It is believed we can make the switch transparent so those who want to use a call in number and access code can continue to do so. NFB of Oregon has a Zoom account for business and was used during Portland Central Chapter's May meeting. Kirk will
reach out to Carla McQuillan about our chapter having use of the account. <br>
<br>
Kirk described the tentative plans for NFB of Oregon members and guests to meet at Phoenix Inn and Suites in Eugene for vurtial portions of the 2020 NFB National Convention. The event would begin the afternoon of Thursday July 16 and finish Saturday evening
July 18. Food and hotel costs would be covered by the affiliate, transportation would not be covered. It is, of course uncertin of our organization would be allowed to have a meeting in Jane County at that time. Carla McQuillan believes we could work with
a limit of 25 if need be. More information to come.<br>
<br>
Jerry Hathaway pointed out Saturday, July 18 conflicts with Rose City Chapter meeting that month.
<br>
<br>
Presidential Release #494, dated May 1, 2020 was played. <br>
<br>
MaryAnn asked about the affiliate's giftcard raffle. Kirk said Oregon Department of Justice regulates gambling and raffles in our state. He and First Vice President Kristen Jocums had been correcponding with a representative there to determine what we can and
cannot do. Ticket sales must be from within Oregon so We will not be able to sell raffle tickets on the NFB of Oregon website as was hoped. We are working to determine what can be done. No decision has been reached at this time.
<br>
<br>
Ryan McBee thanked everyone for joining the meeting today. Kirk echoed that and added we have the most loyal members anywhere.<br>
<br>
Meeting adjourned at 12:10 PM<br>
<br>
Respectfully submitted,<br>
Kirk ranger <br>
