[Cash-and-caring] Welcom and Washington Seminar

[Ever Lee Hairston]

Ramona,

This is an interesting idea, however I feel that targeting NFB members for 
our first fund raiser is questionable.

Hoby Wedler is conducting a Wine Tasting  fund raiser  at the California 
convention.
Perhaps, we can plan  a Wine Tasting event the last night at the Washington 
Seminar.

Warmly,
Ever Lee Hairston

> How many people on this committee are on Facebook?
> We don't know how many people would pay to participate in a quizz or
