[nabs-l] Looking for ideas

[Jason Mandarino]

Hey Ashley,

It is good to see you on the list. It has been disappointing to me to see
how many people have not shared this list serve to other students. We need
to spread the word better, for this list serve can only be a strong as the
collective interest and minds make it.

Remember all you have to do is tell people www.nfbnet.org and they got it!

On the topic of fundraising Michigan came up with the idea of having a bar
sponsor their cause and getting a band to play for them for a Friday night.
I am in the process of looking into something similar, but do not know of
the effectiveness of such a fundraiser. I like jazz, and I have heard that
there is a really good blind jazz artist in Atlanta, so I have begun trying
to touch base with that individual for help.

Mandarino,

hey guys this is Ashley from Texas. I just subscribed to the mailing
list a few days ago, by recommendation of someone at Washington
seminar. Well anyway, just thought I'd drop in and introduce myself,
but also wanted to add some input here to Juan's message. As some of
you may remember from Washington seminar, I've been selling candy for
the past few weeks, and that's been going ok, but I'm running out of
money, and you know how us students are poor! :)
So anyway, just wanted to let people know that I too am looking for
ideas on how best to go about fundraising. My next thought was that I
could possibly do some baking like I did last year, making cookies or
something to that effect, and maybe that would give me some good
money. I'm proud to say that with the candy sells, i was able to make
at least 50 dollars, so I'm very pleased at how those went, but I'm
also looking forward to new ideas, as it is, the more money we make,
the more successful we will be, and the more opportunities we will
have. So again, any ideas and input would be greatly appreciated!
We here in Texas are looking forward to hearing the great ideas here
on the nabs list!
Thanks In Advance,
Ashley
