<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">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:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Created July 1, 2006, the "<a href="http://www.flhsmv.gov/dmv/specialtytags/miscellaneous/a_state_of_vision.html"><span style="color:windowtext">A State of Vision</span></a>" 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
<a href="http://www.flhsmv.gov/specialtytags/slpgift.html"><span style="color:windowtext">specialty tag gift certificate</span></a>, as well. Please visit your local tag agency to find out how to get "A State of Vision" plate.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">I see that FAASB stands for Florida Association of Agencies Serving the Blind.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">The Website is
<a href="http://www.faasb.com/license%20plate.html">http://www.faasb.com/license%20plate.html</a>. 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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
