[nfbwatlk] Greater Seattle Chapter Minutes

Sun Apr 6 23:23:14 CDT 2008

Why not ask the caterers how much they would charge for a cold box lunch type meal?? We come for the company not for the great dining experience.??? At $40 a pop we could hire limos and go to Wendy's and have chili and a frosty with change coming back.? Then we might be able to sit in the park with take out from the Urban Onion,? Hope these wonderful ideas help you.

See Ya'll in Olympia,

Hi, Kaye.
?
Welcome back to the land of the electronic living! WE missed ya!
?
Insofar as having food (Mexican, pizza or anything else) brought in, it's a 
no-go. The Governor House's contract with their caterer forbids such activities. 
I think we are going to find this sort of prohibition in more and more 
instances. Welcome to the modern world!

Mike,
You could check into having Mexican delivered or pizza.
Yes, I am finally back on line and after about two weeks of lurking ( I really 
love to lurk, it just pleases my whimsy.) I will start to comment again.
Posting minutes does bring us moretogether, with insight as to what is happening 
in our sister affiliates
Regaurds to All,
Kay Burrows.

Great job, Andrea.
?
I think it's a
wonderful
idea to put minutes of chapter meetings on the list. It's another way of
bringing the affiliate close together, keeping us all in touch with what's going
on around the affiliate and serving as a wellspring of ideas for topics for
meetings?of other chapters.
?
A couple of ?minor corrections: the spring get-together isn't technically a
spring conference as we've traditionally held them; it's a meeting of the Board
of Directors and chapter presidents and other interested persons, all of whom
are encouraged to participate freely. There will be a definite NFB philosophy
component
as well as discussion of future affiliate projects, affiliate
financing/fund-raising and perhaps a "why do we do things the way we do"
discussion. Also, since Dr. Maurer will be with us, I'm sure he'd be more than
happy to answer questions concerning our national movement.
?
Also, since Gary and I weren't able to come to a satisfactory agreement with the
caterer (we were going to be charged over $40 for a chicken-and-rice dinner), we
won't be charging $50 for meals. Breakfast is still complimentary and we can eat
lunch in the restaurant or at the various eateries in the neighborhood. We're
still working on a venue for a communal dinner. No guarantees, though.
?
Again, thanks, Andrea, for publishing the Seattle chapter minutes on the list. I
urge other chapter secretaries to "go and do thou likewise".
?

NFB of Washington
