[Cash-and-caring] New member saying hi

I think it would also help if you made some great videos to educate
the public about your organization and give out some positive stories
of blind people as they watch it. People tend to give more when they
find a connection to things and it would also be good for the public
to learn more about the blind. Nowadays, videos are cheaper to make
and store and you can even give them away as you fundraise in all the
different way, so they could reach a great numbber of people, even in
places where you are not present directly.
