[Nd-talk] Kenneth Jernigan Raffle Tickets

[Milton Ota]

Dear Members of the NFB of ND and Friends:

 

I have once again received from the National Office prior to our annual
National Convention, this year to be held in Las Vegas, 10 tickets to either
bought or sold by July 1. Each ticket is $10.00. See the informational
instructions below.

 

Please let me know either by phone or e-mail how many tickets you want and I
will arrange to get them to you. I will need the stub and monies by July 1
so that it can be turned in at the convention.

 

May you be a fortunate winner!

RE: THE KENNETH JERNIGAN FUND RAFFLE 2018

 

Dear Colleague:

 

As you are aware, we established the Kenneth Jernigan Convention Scholarship
Fund at our 1998 convention in Dallas, Texas. The support from members and
friends has been both generous and enthusiastic. The committee is again
sponsoring a limited edition raffle to raise money for the Kenneth Jernigan
Fund. The ticket cost is ten dollars. This drawing will yield at least
$10,000 net for the Kenneth Jernigan Fund.

 

You might ask, "What's in it for me?" Here is what's in it for you. If you
are the winner of this drawing, you will receive round-trip air
transportation for two to and from the National Federation of the Blind
National Convention in July 2019. You will also receive lodging at that
year's convention hotel for seven days during the convention. You will
receive registration and banquet tickets for two. In addition, you will
receive a cash prize of $1,000. On the other hand, if you don't win but you
sell the winning ticket, your chapter will receive $500. You do not have to
be present to win.

 

Enclosed are tickets to sell. We are asking each state affiliate to either
sell or buy its allotment of tickets. If you choose to buy tickets for your
affiliate, a suggested use is to donate tickets to the door prize chairman
to be included with regular convention prize drawings.

 

We believe these tickets are being distributed early enough so that all
sales can be final by June 15. Please send money and stubs for tickets sold
to:

 

            Jernigan Fund Committee 

            c/o Susan Skaarer

            National Federation of the Blind

            200 East Wells Street

            Baltimore, Maryland 21230

 

After June 15, please bring ticket stubs, money, and any unsold tickets to
the national convention and turn them in at the Jernigan Fund table. Please
have checks made payable to the National Federation of the Blind and note KJ
Fund on the memo line.

Be sure to endorse the back of the ticket stubs with your chapter name so we
can send your chapter $500 should the ticket you sold be the winner. If you
choose to buy the tickets so you can donate them to the door prize
committee, please endorse each stub (leave the ticket attached) and return
the whole tickets with your check and instructions that the tickets are to
be turned over to the door prize committee.

 

We are counting on you to help build the Kenneth Jernigan Fund so we can
accomplish the goals 

Dr. Jernigan set forth for us. Remember, the drawing winner need not be
present at the banquet to win.

 

If you are unable to sell your allocation of tickets, please contact Allen
Harris at (205) 520-9979. We look forward to seeing you in Orlando.

 

Sincerely,

 

Allen Harris, Chairman

Assisted by Joy Harris and Jay Cobb
