> I hope that your holidays are going well and that you have received the
> grades you expected during the semester. Washington Seminar is one of the
> most anticipated times of our calendar year because it is a big part of our
> advocacy efforts to make sure our legislative needs are being heard by our
> elected officials. This year, we have many students flying to capitol hill
> to speak on issues that affect the blind and we thought it would be a great
> idea to fundraise some items.

>  1.  Chocolate Chip Cookies: Mi-ABS will be selling delicious, soft baked
> Grandma Cookies in Washington, D.C. The cookies are available for $1 for two
> cookies and will be a hit item this year, especially during meetings and
> events in the Holiday Inn Capital Hotel.
> 
>  2.  Washington Seminar Buttons: The Michigan Association of Blind Students
> will be selling Washington Seminar buttons. These are priceless souvenirs
> that can be collected to record your participation or support of the student
> efforts in the capital. The buttons are blue, with red lettering and a white
> outline. The button has the NFB logo on it, the official Washington Seminar
> Hashtag #NFBWS19, and our student mantra "Don't Deny, Aim High." These
> buttons are the first in an annual effort to provide buttons each year that
> can allow for students and other NFB members to create a collection of times
> that they attend or support seminar each year. Each button costs $3 and are
> in limited supply, so get them while they are available.
> 
> Not attending seminar? No worries, the fundraising committee has you
> covered. If you are interested in purchasing buttons before the seminar,
> feel free to place an order with the division via Venmo. If you send a
> payment for the item to our official treasury page @MiABS-Treasury, you can
> have a button set aside for you to either pick up or have mailed to you. We
> can also take advance order purchases and I will have the reserved orders or
> cookies and buttons available starting Sunday, January 27 at the hotel.
