<DIV>Hello fellow imaginators, this is a reminder today is the first day of the 2012 Imagination Fund campaign. If you didn't personally request to be resigned up by someone at the imagination table during the national convention, you will need to do so at <A href="http://www.raceforindependence.org/" rel=nofollow target=_blank>www.raceforindependence.org</A>. Thanks to everyone who participated last year! Don't forget 25% of all funds raised will be divided equally among each affiliate. Imagination grant applications are due September 1st. According to Parnell Diggs, the electronic copy of the application will be sent out to state presidents this week. </DIV>

<DIV>Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks,</DIV>
<DIV>Beth Debus</DIV>
