Jack Mendez seconding the motion and the motion was passed by the members

and that she would like us to have dues be paid at the beginning of February
and that when we have a new Treasurer next year we can have a discussion
weather to change the month that dues will be need to be paid to the
chapter. Kirk told us that he has received the masks and that he will be
mailing them to the members. Kirk played the Presidential release for
January. We had a discussion about Washington Legislative seminar & Oregon
Legislative seminar. Kirk brought up that National convention might be
virtual in July and the idea of chapters meeting together for some of the
meetings and members gave their opinions about options in meeting together
as a chapter during National Convention. Kirk asked Jack if he has been able
to get in touch with National Newsline persons to get information about
inquiry dealing with Newsline in Oregon. Jack has not been able to get in
touch with National at this time & he will keep trying to get in touch with
them. Jack read the questions about Newsline to the chapter members. We will
still keep working on the Newsline awareness issue in Oregon. Members gave
their impressions & thoughts about the Braille Monitor article "Blindness:
Is the Public Against Us?" by Kenneth Jernigan April 2020 issue. Kirk
suggested that we bring up more articles from the Braille Monitor as we read
that will be good for the chapter to have a discussion about it. Kirk
adjourned the meeting.
