Finance Report: An EYH bank account has been set up and it has the $300 from the State Network. At the next State Board Meeting, Dec. 17, the Northern Chapter budget will be presented and we will ask for the $200 that we did not receive for last year. Last year's budget was gone over and it was determined that this year's budget will be the same except for the gift. dede said she would take care of preparing the budget for this year and present it at the next meeting. She will also see that it is presented to the State Board on Dec. 17. The donators from last year were gone over and members volunteered to visit their respective places of business. Wendee volunteered to contact LANB, Mountain Community Bank, and R-Books. Shirley will check with her group, CIC-13, for a program code, McDonalds, Baskin Robbins, and the new cafeteria management. Alexine will contact UNM and Valencia Moters. Karen will contact ACS. Lynda will contact the Credit Union and ask her group leader for a program code. Awards: Alexine contacted the New Mexico Industries for the Blind. She brought examples of several tote bags with a price list. It was decided to get 180 of the plain book bags in natural with turquoise trim and 2 color logo. At $3.41 each this will be $613. The budget should reflect the new cost because this is $200 cheaper that the t-shirts. Alexine will go ahead and order them so that we get a 5% discount. They will deliver them. Wendee will contact her artist friend to see if she will do a design for us. It was decided that we would give the t-shirts from last years away in the drawings.
