Dear Minnesota Federationists and Friends,<br>
<br>
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.<br>
Please support the important work of<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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. <br>
<br>
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.<br>
