[Cash-and-caring] fundraiser idea: A State of Vision

[Rovig, Lorraine]

I stumbled across this unique fundraiser in Florida. Some states have lots and lots of drivers. Could an NFB affiliate do this successfully in one of the states? The website says:

Created July 1, 2006, the "A State of Vision<http://www.flhsmv.gov/dmv/specialtytags/miscellaneous/a_state_of_vision.html>" specialty license plate fees of $25 go to the FAASB agency serving your county, to benefit people who are visually impaired or blind in your community. Below is an image of the tag. You can buy a specialty tag gift certificate<http://www.flhsmv.gov/specialtytags/slpgift.html>, as well. Please visit your local tag agency to find out how to get "A State of Vision" plate.

I see that FAASB stands for Florida Association of Agencies Serving the Blind.
The Website is http://www.faasb.com/license%20plate.html. The photograph of the plate shows a lighthouse on the left, stylized waves across the bottom, with sunny colors for a background. At the top the plate says "FLORIDA" and at the bottom it says "A STATE OF VISION" and the car's license number goes in the middle - I think it looks nice, both pretty and uncomplicated.

Cordially,
