[Rose_City_Chapter] August chapter minutes

[Joyce M. Green]

Just one comment on the minutes - I did not mention the two articles in the
BRAILLE MONITOR specifically for meeting discussion, but rather just because
I thought they were worthy of reading.  However, I am not suggesting a
correction in the minutes.  If folks want to discuss them, then go for it.

Minutes August 22, 2020

 

                Kirk Wagner called the virtual chapter meeting to order at
10:30 AM. Attending the meeting were Kirk & Cherri Wagner, Ryan McBee, Jerry
Hathaway, Joyce Green, Carolyn Brock, Mary Ann & Jack Mendez, & Jerry
Garafolo. We had a guest speaker who is Lisa Strader from the City of
Portland Bureau of Transportation ADA Coordinator. Lisa Strader gave us a
presentation about the City of Portland public right of way transition plan.
She told us one of her responsibilities is to create relationships with
different organization groups that will be affected by the plan. She told us
after the plan comes out there will be six virtual open houses so the public
can give their views and concerns dealing with the transition plan. Lisa
answer questions from chapter members about the plan and said that she will
give Kirk the link for the website that the plan will be posted and she will
also send information about the public open houses that will be virtual and
how to access the open house meetings. Carolyn Brock made a motion to have
the minutes approved as they were distributed and Joyce Green seconded the
motion and the motion was passed by members attending the meeting. Kirk told
us that Jack Mendez has paid his dues and is now a member of the chapter.
Joyce Green gave the Treasurer's report with a beginning balance of
$1,126.44 and the ending balance is $1,114.44. Joyce told us that somebody
accessed our account and made a payment of $124.80 from our account. Kirk
and Joyce has talked to the bank and the bank has credited our account with
the $124.80 that was taken out until the fraud process has completed which
will take about 3 months. Jerry Hathaway made a motion to have the
Treasurer's report approved as read with Mary Ann Mendez seconding the
motion and the motion was passed by the members attending the meeting. Kirk
suggested that we mail our dues for 2021 to Joyce Green. Kirk played the
Presidential release #496 dated July 30, 2020. Joyce told us about two
Braille Monitor articles that she read from the April Braille Monitor that
she liked very much and that we should read them and discussed them at our
September meeting. The two articles that Joyce have suggested to be read for
our September meeting are "The Blind Doctor of Rocanville" by Eva-Lis Wuorio
and "Blindness: Is the Public Against US?" by Kenneth Jernigan. Jack Mendez
asked each member to tell more about themselves and any experiences with the
National Federation of the Blind. Each member except Cherri Wagner and
Carolyn Brock told something about ourselves and our special experience with
the National Federation of the Blind. Carolyn will talk about herself and
her experience with the National Federation of the Blind at our September
meeting. Kirk adjourned the meeting at 12:45 PM.
