Hello, everyone:

I hope that you all enjoyed our national convention. It is now time to really focus our attention on our upcoming state convention. At our last meeting, we discussed meeting again on Wednesday, July 20, at 8 PM. Does this still work for all of you?

Also, attached are notes from our last meeting, as well as notes from Allison and Julie?s hotel visit. Thank you again, Allison, for providing these for us.

Thank you, and all best,

Rachel

Hello, everyone:

I am going to have to change our meeting tomorrow night because I needed to re-plan my travels for tomorrow. For those of you who don?t know, I have been quarantined in Louisiana with Covid for the last 10 days. I was originally scheduled to fly home tomorrow morning at 5:20 AM, but since I am still dealing with a great deal of fatigue and other things, I decided that I should try and get a later flight for tomorrow so that I can rest more tonight. Now, I will be flying out in the afternoon and not returning home until probably around 10 PM tomorrow night, depending on traffic. 

We need to have a meeting before our next board meeting which will take place next week. Are all of you free to meet next Wednesday night, July 27, instead of tomorrow night? We can keep the same meeting time at 8 PM?

I?m sorry to have to do this to you guys? I?m just realizing that Cove it is taking more of a toll on me than I thought it would. Hopefully by next week, everything will be back to normal for me.

All best,

Rachel

Message-ID: <E07DB41A-0D58-42B9-A5AE-71D4E3FDC122@gmail.com>

Hello, everyone!

I look forward to seeing you all tonight at 8 PM for our convention planning meeting. Here is what I would like to cover tonight:

1. Final recommendation for registration prices to suggest to the board.

2. Scholarship update.

3. Exhibitor update.

4. Covid protocols for convention.

5. Other takeaways from National convention.

There is a lot more that we can discuss tonight, but I want to make sure to at least cover those things. If there is anything else that you feel we need to cover now, please let me know.

See you all tonight!

Rachel

Hi all,

I spoke with Rachel about this yesterday after our meeting. I am
concerned about the banquet buffet. Not everyone knows how to serve
themselves from a buffet line in a sanitary way, and I'm wondering
what you all think about having volunteers serve people along a line.
I'd rather not have people touching everything in the serving dishes
or, for example, scooping mashed potatoes with their hands.
Theoretically, people coming to the banquet should not have Covid, but
they may not test positive until the next day. What do you think?
Thanks.

Best,
Cricket

I agree.
if the hotel is going to charge banquet prices, they should have
someone from their catering staff serve the food.
You are talking about a lot of blind people in line and trying to
carry their plates back to the table without an accident.
My deepest concern will everyone get to eat if the food is only for an hour.

Okay, thanks for clarifying. It sounded like, from the conversation
last night, that it would be a buffet where everyone serves
themselves. It's reassuring to hear that there will be people serving.

This is good to know. I think one thing that we will need to do is have people who are helping to move the line forward. Perhaps from the ambassadors committee. This way we can make sure that everyone gets food.

I plan to ask my local Lions to help out during the convention in various capacities. I'm not sure of all I'll be able to come up with, but I intend to try to get some help with assisting those who need it with finding a seat after the trip to the buffet. I also intend to make sure that such assistance is offered, not forced and is offered and provided in a respectful and appropriate manner that does not conflict with our NFB philosophy. I hope this effort on my part is not taken as antithetical to our philosophy of independence. I just want to make sure that everyone has a chance to eat the dinner they paid for  . Not everyone has had the same level of training or has acquired the same skill set. I hope all this makes sense.

This is good to know. I think one thing that we will need to do is have people who are helping to move the line forward. Perhaps from the ambassadors committee. This way we can make sure that everyone gets food.

Alison,
I think that whatever assistance she can get the Lions Club will be greatly appreciated.
However, I do believe that we as an organization need to train them and this goes for any volunteer group not just alliance so that we can work with them on the proper etiquette so that they're not just doing everything for us I am sure you will handle that just fine

Agreed. That is why I plan to provide that kind of training ahead of time. The last thing I want is to encourage any enabling practices. I think everyone should know me by now. I'm always concerned and dismayed when I encounter individuals who have the potential to do  for themselves, but choose to take advantage of well meaning, but enabling behaviors from people around them.

good afternoon everyone I believe a sorority helped us out in 2019 with 
such things as helping to carry food and dealing with buffets etc. I 
think it would probably be a great idea to approach them before we 
approach the Lions Club. That way we work with people who might have had 
previous exposure to for real blind people. I'm not saying the Lions 
Club is bad I'm just saying that I think that we should work on wild 
asking for volunteer help build that relationship. Perhaps someone can 
look through what we did in 2019 and see just who that sorority is and 
see if the chapter exists at San Diego State University. I know there 
pretty big school so I would also be in favor of having someone look 
into the. I think our student division president Shelby I believe is the 
name that I remember might be able to look into that or maybe cricket 
still has some of those records.


I hope this helps?


Please note this is being dictated to the computer, so I hope it turned 
out well enough to be read.


Respectfully Maurice mines.

	hello Allison.  This sounds fantastic!  For years before the pandemic,
volunteers would come from UPS to our national convention to offer assistance where needed.  If
you do come up with a cache of Lions volunteers, I suggest meeting with them before the
convention to provide some instruction and examples of how to behave and how to offer
assistance in a respectful and appropriate manner.  They'll appreciate knowing what to do and
what to expect and our members will appreciate the helpful folks who are there.  Be sure to
explain at these meetings with the volunteers that there will be some folks who may ask for
more help than is appropriate in the moment.  Indicate to the volunteers that it is perfectly
appropriate and reasonable for them to set a boundary on what they'r willing to do.

-thanks
-Brian

I just located the e-mail address for contacting the local chapter president. I'll send an e-mail requesting that she contact me by phone. I saw no phone numbers.

>> ?I plan to ask my local Lions to help out during the convention in various capacities. I'm not sure of all I'll be able to come up with, but I intend to try to get some help with assisting those who need it with finding a seat after the trip to the buffet. I also intend to make sure that such assistance is offered, not forced and is offered and provided in a respectful and appropriate manner that does not conflict with our NFB philosophy. I hope this effort on my part is not taken as antithetical to our philosophy of independence. I just want to make sure that everyone has a chance to eat the dinner they paid for  . Not everyone has had the same level of training or has acquired the same skill set. I hope all this makes sense.
