The guest speaker for this meeting was Fred Shelfer, CEO of Goodwill
Industries-Big Bend. Mr. Shelfer presented an interesting and informative
overview
of the local facility and explained the policy for this location related to
wage earnings and how the less than minimum wage process is not done here.
Mr. Shelfer expressed an interest in working with LBB and receptive to
employing the blind and visually impaired. He encouraged folks to call and speak
directly with him at 850 576-7145 in the future.
The minutes for the August 2012 meeting were not available for reading and
approval as a result of confused technology.
Sila presented the Treasurer's report (see below) which was accepted as
presented after a motion by Wanda to do so, a 2nd by Sally, and unanimous
approval.
William reported the Transportation Disadvantaged meeting was primarily to set
goals and go over the annual reports. The new phone system should begin after
the dial A Ride office staff has been relocated to J. K. Steele Plaza. There
was some discussion about inviting someone from StarMetro to speak again at
a TCB meeting.
William requested Wanda send a sympathy card to Trish McGriff's family.
William then presented the slate of nominees from the Nominating Committee:
President, Wanda, 1st Vice President Shelley, 2nd Vice President, Georgia,
Secretary,
Sally and Treasurer, Sila. He reminded everyone there can also be nominations
from the floor and he explained the process. Elections will be at the next
TCB meeting on 11/8/12.
Shelley inquired about the Board Rep selection process and it was decided not
to make any changes.
A motion to adjourn the meeting was made by Wanda and a 2nd by Lynda with
unanimous approval. The meeting was adjourned by
William at 7:47 p.m.
William Benjamin, Piano Tuner Extraordinaire.
The tuner alone preserves the tone.
