>Dear Minnesota Federationists and Friends,
>
>Thursday, November 15, 2018, is Give to the Max 
>Day­a day to inspire unprecedented levels of 
>charitable giving in the state of Minnesota, 
>concentrated in one day. It runs until 11:59 PM 
>on the 15th. Just as we have done in previous 
>years, both NFB of Minnesota and BLIND Inc. will 
>be participating.  Every dollar given to either 
>NFB of MN or BLIND Inc. will help all of us by 
>improving opportunities and making life better 
>for blind people in Minnesota and everywhere.
>Please support the important work of
>the National Federation of the Blind of 
>Minnesota

>
>during Give to the Max Day, and share the 
>opportunity with your contacts on email, 
>word-of-mouth, twitter, Facebook, etc.! (Please 
>include the hashtag #gtmd18 in your tweets and 
>Facebook posts). As already mentioned, donations 
>can be made ahead of time, so there's no need to 
>wait! Please read below for more information, 
>and encourage those you know to support us.
>
>Note to screen reader users: the GiveMN site has 
>undergone some major changes this year, and the 
>accessibility of the site has declined. I have 
>been in contact with the site administrators, 
>and while they’re aware of the problem, it won’t 
>be fixed before the day is out. In the meantime, 
>this experience works best when using JAWS with 
>Chrome, but particularly enterprising types may find success elsewhere.
>
>National Federation of the Blind of Minnesota 
>The NFB of Minnesota 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.  We provide public 
>education about blindness, support services to 
>the newly blinded, scholarships, publications 
>about blindness, advocacy services, access to 
>newspapers in audio formats, assistive 
>technology information, as well as information 
>about local adjustment to blindness training and 
>job Opportunities for Blind people in Minnesota.
