The object of the meeting was to discuss fund raising ideas in regards to saving our office. Many good ideas were presented, but no matter how good the ideas were, they will not work if we do not receive your help. Therefore, we are asking for everyone’s participation in implementing some of these great ideas.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">I would like all chapter presidents to run two outreach tables by January 1<sup>st</sup> 2016. One of the ideas talked about was to purchase items like an iPod touch, that can be raffled off at these outreach tables. Please make sure of two things. First, that you are allowed to hold a raffle at your particular outreach table, and second, the venue is large enough to justify a raffle. If we don’t raise enough money by January 31, 2016, I will need to change the status of the office. We are in dire need of every members help. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Regards,<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Edward Shaham <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">President<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">NFB of CT<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p></div></div></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><div><span>_______________________________________________</span><br><span>Ct-nfb mailing list</span><br><span><a href="mailto:Ct-nfb@nfbnet.org">Ct-nfb@nfbnet.org</a></span><br><span><a href="http://nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/ct-nfb_nfbnet.org">http://nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/ct-nfb_nfbnet.org</a></span><br><span>To unsubscribe, change your list options or get your account info for Ct-nfb:</span><br><span><a href="http://nfbnet.org/mailman/options/ct-nfb_nfbnet.org/deb.reed57%40gmail.com">http://nfbnet.org/mailman/options/ct-nfb_nfbnet.org/deb.reed57%40gmail.com</a></span></div></blockquote></body></html>
