>> Hi all,
>>
>>
>>
>> Convention was exhausting and exhilarating. I hope more of you are able 
>> to
>> join the chapter at the national convention next year. It is an 
>> experience
>> that all of you should take the chance to enjoy someday. Be sure to ask
>> Paul
>> Jordan about his big adventure at his first national convention this 
>> year.
>>
>>
>>
>> As most of you are aware, the Cincinnati chapter invested $100 in a
>> fundraising effort at the national convention. The money given was
>> designated as prize money for the Cincy Lucky Lolli Game. The supplies 
>> for
>> the game were provided by me. 130 flower shaped lollipops in assorted
>> colors
>> were planted in a box which was wrapped in green poster board and
>> surrounded
>> by a white picket fence. I called it my flower garden. Buyers paid $1 for
>> the lollipop. If the buyer selects a specially marked lollipop then they
>> won
>> an instant cash prize ranging from $2 to $20. A specially marked lollipop
>> was identifiable by its 3 inch long string dangling from the base of the
>> lollipop's stick. The cash ranging from $2 to $20 was in unmarked 
>> envelopes
>> which were fanned out like a deck of playing cards for the winner to
>> select.
>> They kept whatever was in the envelope. People really enjoyed the game 
>> and
>> its support grew as the week went on. We sold a total of 158 lollipops.
>> This
>> number may seem small but it was one of the most popular items at the
>> exhibit table. People were really excited about the game and we will
>> probably see some copy cats next year. We did not use all of the prize
>> money
>> so I will be sending the chapter a refund in the amount of $47.
>>
>>
>>
>> The Cincinnati chapter also had 10 Louis Braille keychains at the exhibit
>> table. These items were a carryover from a fundraising effort many years
>> back. These items were sold for $5 each. I am happy to report that all of
>> the key chains were sold.
>>
>>
>>
>> Credit cards were used in the purchase of a couple of keychains. The use 
>> of
>> credit cards resulted in a very minimal fee which will be deducted from 
>> our
>> overall profit. Please see the sales summary below for the full numbers.
