I especially like **"Three Weeks Left: Apply for a Chappell-Dennis Grant"**
as the subject line because it immediately communicates both the urgency and
the purpose.

Live the life you want!

 

The National Federation of the Blind advances the lives of its members and
all blind people in the United States. We know that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise
expectations of blind people because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. Our collective power, determination,
and diversity achieve the aspirations of all blind people.
