[BlindTlk] NFB of Florida's Tampa Bay Chapter Announces Autumn Fundraiser! Oooooo!

[danjhicks at yahoo.com]

Fellow Federation Members, 

Summer temperatures have  given way to the welcome chill in the air, the scent of Pumpkin Spice, and the crunch of Autumn Leaves. Not to mention the excitement of Blind Equality Achievement Month!

One of the ways the Tampa Bay chapter of the National Federation of the Blind is celebrating all of the above is by holding our slightly spooky Blind Equality Achievement Month 50/50 fundraiser! We want everyone to have a chance to be part of the fun, no matter where you live!

The drawing is scheduled for the next Tampa Bay Chapter meeting on Saturday, October 23. You do not need to be present to win. 

Our tickets are a dollar apiece, five dollars will get you six tickets, $10 will get you 12 tickets and so on. You get the idea. 

The deadline for advance ticket purchases is Thursday, October 21, 2021, at 11:59 PM Eastern time. We encourage everyone to buy tickets ahead of time, before this deadline, but if you attend the meeting in person we will be able to add you to the raffle. Buying them in advance is probably the best way.  
 Here is how to pay for your lucky chances.
 
You can use this link to pay via PayPal.
 
tampabay at nfbflorida.org
 
If you can pay with a checking account and use the “send to a friend” option, it doesn’t cost us anything. However, if using a credit or debit card, you can use this link:
https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/NFBFTampaBay?locale.x=en_US
 
If you don’t have a PayPal account, or just want another way to send money, use this link:
 
https://checkout.square.site/merchant/24228PDCG29HT/checkout/S2YZPK5ULQX3IBHLMLBC2UGD 
 
Pay with a credit card or debit card and fill out the simple form so we have your name and email address. 

Remember, you only have a short time to donate and claim your chances! The thought that you might miss out is just too frightening to contemplate, so why not do it right now? 

Please text me at 813-943-5544 or write me at danjhicks at gmail.com if you have any questions. 

Thank you all and good luck!
Dan Hicks,
Treasurer,
Tampa Chapter
National Federation of the blind of Florida
