<div> </div>
<div>When you commit to donate to the Birdies for Charity Program, you will be asked to designate the charity of your choice. There's quite a long list of options, but please go straight to the N's where you will find National Federation of the Blind of CT listed! Our affiliate will receive all of the funds plus we receive incentives that multiply as our donations grow.</div>

This year, we are asking members to not only donate, but to ask family members, friends and business associates to participate. Last year we had a fairly poor response from our membership and we had only 23 contributors. If you are among those that contributed, “Thank You”! If you didn’t make a pledge or donation, why didn’t you? I realize that many of you are on a fixed income as I am.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I also realize that we had a tough winter. However, if you put aside $1-2 a week until our due date, you will have plenty to honor a $10 minimum donation. You won’t be billed until after July 14th. Even after you receive your billing invoice, you have almost 60 days to mail in your payment. All payments must be received before 6 pm on September 30, 2015. Ask yourself honestly, is that too much of a hardship?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></SPAN></DIV>

First prize for guessing the exact number of birdies that are made is a $1,500.00 Visa gift card. By you winning the first prize, our affiliate, the NFB of CT, will also receive a special bonus check in the amount of $500.00. This opportunity alone is worth your $10 donation. For those of you who have some gambling blood in your veins, to make it more exciting, you can make a pledge of 2 cents a birdie minimum times the number of birdies that are made. For example, if 1500 birdies are made and you pledged 2 cents a birdie, your pledge payment would be $30.00. You can pledge any amount you wish over the 2 cent per birdie minimum.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></SPAN></DIV>
