[Massachusetts-NFB] Fwd: [External] Interest in doing a fundraiser for my chapter of national Federation of the blind of Massachusetts

[Al and Masha Sten-Clanton]

Hi, Shirley!


 From what I can tell, this seems worth doing.  I can't tell how it 
works, though.  Is somebody supposed to essentially set up our store and 
evthen we all buy and get others to buy there?  Sorry if I seem obtuse.  
We're likely to buy the candy, but let me know what I might do to help 
otherwise.
