The Baltimore Orioles have a program in which organizations can procure a block of tickets to an Orioles game and receive part of the proceeds from the sales, as well as opportunities for the organization to be recognized and receive other benefits. We are contemplating attending a game on Thursday, September 26, when the Orioles play the Toronto Blue Jays. Tickets, in the lower reserved section, would be $15, and the chapter would receive $7 from each ticket. Depending on how many tickets we sell, we could receive incentives, such as the appearance of our name on the scoreboard or the opportunity for an NFB representative to receive an autographed baseball on the field. This seems like a great opportunity to receive funding and recognition for the federation, as well as having a great time at the ball park. It's also a great way for us to show our community spirit and support for one of our local sports teams.

This matter will also be raised at tomorrow's chapter meeting but I wanted to make sure that those who cannot attend the meeting are aware of it. Be sure to consider not only whether you would like to attend yourself, but also whether friends or family would like to attend or whether you feel that you can help us sell our block of tickets to friends, family, or acquaintances. If you are interested and/or want to help by selling tickets, please call me or send me an e-mail at cdanielsen at nfb.org<mailto:cdanielsen at nfb.org>. We'd like to make a decision on whether to pursue this opportunity early next week, so let me know of your participation as soon as possible.
