[Colorado-talk] National Gumbo Day

[Scott C. Labarre]

Friends, I should also like to point out that it is National Take Your Teddy
Bear to Work or School Day.  So, sit your teddy bear down; feed it gumbo;
but for sure, please sell raffle tickets and buy them too!
  Kevan's message is an example of how you can creatively attract attention
to your email.  Hmmm, I wonder where he got the idea about highlighting the
national holiday and the other assorted text?    Maybe I need to consult a
lawyer.  Anyone know a good one?  (smile)
Thanks,
Scott

Subject: [Colorado-talk] National Gumbo Day

Greetings Friends and Family:

As you are undoubtedly aware, today is October 12, 2017, and I send you well
wishes on National Gumbo Day and hope that you celebrate it accordingly.

October 12th also means that it is a mere 17 days until we draw the prizes
for this year's Amazing Colorado Raffle brought to you by the National
Federation of the Blind of Colorado.  Like last year, one lucky person will
win $2500, another $1000, and yet another $500.  All you need to do is
purchase tickets and throw your hat in the running.  Tickets cost only $10
for one or get three for $20 or whatever multiple thereof you like.  For
example, $100 will get you 15 tickets in the raffle.

How do you participate?

Well, it's easy.  Please go to the following website and follow the
instructions:
www.nfbco.org/amazing-colorado-raffle<http://www.nfbco.org/amazing-colorado-
raffle>. When you purchase, please be sure to let them know that Kevan
Worley sent you.

Why is this important?

I have been a member of the National Federation of the Blind since 1982.
The thirty-four years of support from the organization have allowed me to
live the life I want and become a successful entrepreneur, husband, and
father.  With the support of my federation family, my wife and I were able
to adopt a wonderful young blind teen from Azerbaijan, Nijat. Thirteen years
later, he is on his own living the life he wants as a scholar. Nijat is in
his second year at Creighton School of Law. Several years ago the NFB
awarded Nijat scholarships. The NFB of Colorado has been a blessing to us
and so many others.  Without the Federation's positive philosophy and
countless positive role models, I would not have the life that I want.

How do the funds from this contest help the Federation specifically?

Well, we use these funds to operate our college scholarship program, provide
Braille Literacy training through our BELL Academies, and issue empowerment
grants to blind individuals.  Other than the cash prizes, 100 percent of the
funds raised go to these programs.

Do I have to be present to win?

Absolutely not!  We will draw the three names Saturday evening, October
29th, at approximately 8:00 pm Mountain as part of our Annual Convention
taking place at the Denver Marriott South which is actually located in Lone
Tree, Colorado.

I thank you in advance for participating in this year's raffle and wish you
luck.  If you need any help in purchasing tickets, please do not hesitate to
email me,
kevanworley at worleyenterprises.com<mailto:kevanworley at worleyenterprises.com>,
or call us at (866) 543-6808.

Good luck and enjoy your Gumbo!
Many of my buddies have already been kind enough to purchase tickets. To
each of you I say thank you.

At Your Service,
