I would like to ask for your help in finding them. I know for example Stop & shop will donate gift cards but after September they will not anymore because they donate to the local food banks, which is very important as well. so time is of the essence. If you can ask the places that you frequent if they would donate something it would be beneficial for both the NFB as well as for them because it gives them advertising. Also, every chapter should donate a door prize . you can make it as fun as you would like. You might need a certificate to show that we are a non-profit, if you do contact the outreach office at 860 289 1971.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Please show your NFB spirit and I look forward to seeing you on the weekend of November 3,4 and 5!!!!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thanks in advance for helping me make this an awesome weekend.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Rob Palaski, Chairman of the 2017 Connecticut convention<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
