[Cash-and-caring] more questions about Raffles

[Ramona Walhof]

Janice, Dave Andrews is usually willing to post announcement from state
presidents on the nfbnet system, and I would think that would include
division presidents.  It might still be early to start announcements for
convention fundraisers.  

I have no opinion about kids' sizes for T-shirts.  Try emailing Carlton
Walker about that.  She works with BELL and she has been President of the
Parents Division.  You might want to tell her something about the design of
your shirts.  I don't remember all the different designs that are sold, and
I may not be the only one who doesn't.  

How safe it is to put a street address on an internet announcement depends a
little on where you live.  Chances are many could find you if they really
wanted to.  However, a post office box number might be wiser.  There are
other places that often rent boxes, as well, such as Mail Boxes Etc or UPS
stores.

Subject: [Cash-and-caring] more questions about Raffles


Good evening Everyone,

As the National Association of the DeafBlind, a proud Division of the NFB
starts to plan our fundraising for National, I have several questions.

We have a member that knits beautiful, tactile afghans for the Division that
we raffle at Convention. The person need not be present to win and we do the
drawing at Convention.

Can we make an announcement now, for example with the testimony of last
years winner and a verbal description of the afghan on both our Website and
on the NFB mailing lists and say that we will raffle off another afghan this
year with its color, Name of Pattern and general description, so we can
start selling raffle tickets?

I know that we can't pay for raffle tickets online, but can I provide an
address for where people could send checks and I would send them the raffle
tickets?

Or is it not a good idea for me to place my home address on our Website?

Should I just have interested parties email/text me, is this
preferable/safer?

Second,
The Division will consider ordering Children's sizes of our Braille T-Shirts
if practicable.  Does anyone have any suggestions on what is the best size
(s) to order for a trial run?

Thanks in advance,
Let's go build the Federation and our Divisions

Janice Toothman
Second Vice-President
NADB/NFB

We are, We care, We share, We grow, We make a Difference; Janice
