[MDPOBC] Nominate a Crab

[Maryland President]

Friends,

 

We hold a Crab Race in connection with our annual NFB of Maryland State
Convention.  This is a fundraiser where you can support your favorite crab
contestant by putting a bit of money on them in $5 increments, and the
people who supported the winning crab split the pot with NFBMD.  Following
the banquet, the six crab contestants - we call them "crabs" participate in
a race to see who gets to the "finish line" first.

 

This year, you will get to decide who one of the six crabs will be.  

 

Here are the rules:

Nomination Round:

Anyone can nominate someone to be a crab between now and December 20, 2025.
You can nominate yourself if you wish.  Send nominations via email to
<mailto:Convention at nfbmd.org> Convention at nfbmd.org.  We recommend you make
sure the person you are nominating wishes to participate and also plans to
attend the convention in person.

 

Voting Round:

Those who get two or more nominations will be advanced to the voting round.
We will post a form online for folks to cast their vote after December 20.
Voting will close on January 20, 2025.  We will announce the winner at the
Convention, and they will be the sixth crab.

 

Existing Crabs:

The following are already chosen as crabs for the 2026 convention, so you
may want to choose someone else to nominate:

*	Fearless Crab Judy Rasmussen
*	Christmas Crab - Sharon Maneki
*	TBD Crab Mark Riccobono
*	TBD Crab: Mike Gosse
*	TBD Crab: Shawn Callaway

 

For questions, don't hesitate to reach out to Ronza Othman at
<mailto:President at nfbmd.org> President at nfbmd.org.

The National Federation of the Blind of Maryland knows that blindness is not
the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back
