NEW BUSINESS

Palma Milliman read the proposed constitution for our new South Central KY Council Of The Blind chapter. The floor was opened for discussion and comments while the articles of the constitution were read. Ron Milliman accepted a motion to accept the proposed constitution and the constitution was unanimously accepted at 7:35.

The frequency and times of future meetings of the Bowling Green Chapter were discussed. It was decided that the Thursday before the convention would be the date of our next meeting.

Kim Parsley asked that everyone be thinking about important issues that the group will need to discuss and hopefully tackle at our next meeting.

Issues SUGGESTED were: How to recruit new members, fund raising possibilities as well as raising public awareness locally by lecturing and making presentations at schools and other organizations.

Ron Milliman suggested that we become involved with the Lions Club as it would not only be a great contact but would be beneficial in strengthening both organizations.

We will pick the date for the Christmas party at our next meeting in November.

The October 09, 2003 meeting was adjourned at 8:15 p.m.
