[il-talk] Informational picket of Goodwill

[Patti Chang]

We will be conducting an informational picket on 8/25 between 11:00 and 
12:00 at Goodwill Industries in DesPlaines.  Many of us will go to the store 
at 1521 Lee street from our state board meeting which is at the Holiday Inn 
O'Hare.  All are welcome.  RSVP to me at pattichang at att.net.

Anil Lewis says:
We need to increase public awareness of the unfair, discriminatory, immoral 
practice of paying subminimum wages to workers with disabilities.  To that 
end, on Saturday, August 25, from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. local time, 
members of the NFB and other concerned citizens will be conducting 
informational protests at Goodwill Thrift Store locations around the 
country.  Affiliates, chapters, divisions, and groups of the National 
Federation of the Blind will join with friends, family, and members of other 
cross-disability organizations to conduct as many informational 
demonstrations as possible.

More information will follow.  Please mark the date.  You can meet us at the 
store or travel with many of us from our state board meeting.  We will need 
a count of participants so please contact me offline if you plan to attend. 
Let me know whether you will need transport from the hotel to the store or 
will meet us at the store.  We will have a briefing conference call before 
the event.


P.S.  Please give to the National Federation of the Blind of Illinois Annual 
Appeal by sending your tax deductible donation to NFBI c/o Glenn Moore III, 
Treasurer P.O. Box 1065 Elgin, IL 60121.
