The BCCB picnic is July 21 and will be potluck. Shirley Carter reminded all to save grocery tapes from Zehrs and Foodland Seaforth. Bill Flynn gave the treasurer’s report. Wilda Cudmore quoted from an article in the May 3 Sunday Star about the CNIB’s new president John Rafferty, entitled This man Can See the Trees. The story says all the other presidents were blind. Harold Schellert, national president of the Canadian Council for the Blind, criticizes the Alliance Equality of the Blind Canadians for the criticism of Rafferty being sighted.
