[Mn-at-large] Day 2 Results, Exhibit table at National Convention

[NFBMN President via NFBMN-News]

Hi everyone, Two days now, and a couple more 
great responses today: Jennifer W wrote to share 
her thoughts on the ideas suggested so far, and 
she expressed her support for the golden ticket 
idea. She also suggested we look into the idea of 
something Minnesota-themed, but said she wasn't 
quite sure what that would be. If others have 
ideas, we would both love to hear them. Bryce 
suggested that we sell either bottles of water or 
koozies. For anyone who has been at convention 
recently, you know how hard it is to find 
good-tasting water. If you have thoughts or 
opinions to share, I would appreciate them. There 
is no such thing as a bad idea. Remember, we do 
best when we can put all our minds to the 
problem. I look forward to hearing from you. 
Warmly, Ryan -----Original Message----- From:

National Convention Greetings, fellow 
federationists, I apologize for the brevity of 
this post, but I'm writing it on my phone from 
the bus to work. At our board meeting in April, 
we discussed changing our exhibit table format 
this year. Instead of having each chapter and 
BLIND Inc. hosting their own fundraiser, and 
asking the volunteers working the table to keep 
track of half a dozen treasuries, we thought it 
would be a better idea to have a single 
fundraiser, then share the money out between all 
the chapters. The question is: what should we 
sell? Food is certainly a possibility—lots of 
affiliates do that——but there are also other 
options. Years ago, the Wisconsin affiliate sold 
envelopes full of tic-tacs, but some of those 
envelopes also contained cash prizes. The choices 
are unlimited. Unfortunately, our time is not. We 
need to make a final decision in the next week in 
order to write copy for the exhibitor list. I'm 
writing to all of you to solicit ideas. If you 
can think of a fundraiser we should host at our 
exhibit table this year, please email me at 
president at nfbmn.org, and let's discuss. Thank you 
for your help, Ryan Strunk, President Sent from a 
mobile device, so please forgive the brevity
