[il-talk] fulfill a need, you only have to read

[David Meyer]

Hello Everyone,
Throughout our lives, we are told that there is nothing like curling up 
to a good book. And, with the holiday season fast approaching, Saturday 
might be the perfect time to do just that. Sounds great, doesn't it!
Well, the Chicago chapter can offer an even better opportunity for you. 
All you need to do is come to Exchequer between 1:00 and 4:00 P.M., 
bring a book, read it and find people who will pay you to do it.
Of course, there is something of a tradeoff. The money you collect will 
go to fund the Chicago Chapter of the National Federation of the Blind 
of Illinois.
On a more serious note, this has been a very active year for us 
politically and because of this, a strong showing in Washington is 
anticipated from the Chicago Chapter. With this in mind, the Board has 
authorized that upto $2,000 may be spent toward our Washington efforts. 
An effort of this magnitude takes a commitment from all chapter 
members. So, come on down with $10 and enjoy a good book. Better yet, 
find someone to sponsor you for $10 or more, and your participation fee 
will be waved. Finally, if you cannot actively participate for any 
reason and you wish to contribute toward the efort of raising funds for 
Washington, please email me or call me. I am looking for sponsors, 
especially from the Chicago Chapter. Anything you can do to help would 
be greatly appreciated.

Hope to see you on Saturday or hear from you via email or phone by that 
time. I can be reached at 708-606-7091.
Like Earnest and Julio Gallow before them, the Chicago Chapter 
appreciates your support.
