[MI-ABS] Fundraising, Frenzies, Friday...

[Robert Earl Parsons]

Greetings from the Big Easy Students!

I'm back with an update on our affiliate's fundraising activity this week at our national convention. So far, the Michigan affiliate's members have been making you all proud, successfully working through the first two days of our exhibit hall with plenty of sales, smiles, and new friends. Here are the details:


  *   We are officially sold out of Decaffeinated Chocolate Cherry Coffee
  *   Our raffle is a hot item in the halls and at the table, selling almost $200 in sales alone
  *   Our table is the talk of the corridor we are located in because we accept different forms of payment

So, let's talk about how you can still get involved in #NFB22. It is not too late for you all to make your presence felt at national convention from the comfort of your own home. If you are interested in items being sold at our table, please reach out to Robert at (269) 216.8640. We still have phone lanyards, chocolate cherry coffee and plenty of raffle tickets to go around. The raffle will have two winners, and on Saturday evening we will pull the winning tickets live, where the winner will have a choice between taking half of the money raised or an Apple Watch SE GPS series.  Our raffle tickets are $5 each or three tickets for $10. Finally, be sure to check on your bids and the things you are interested in bidding on for the 2022 Action Auction. We are closing in on $2000 raised and competition is about to heat up. Simply click the link below, look over the options that are available, and share the link with friends if you can.
Thank you to all the volunteers that have helped make our presence at our first in-person convention in three years memorable so far. Your work and dedication is appreciated.
