[Nfb-krafters-korner] FW: Membership Contest Rules

Thu Apr 24 02:31:43 UTC 2014

Early Bird Special is for new members so they get additional time for  
taking classes.  

Old members who have enjoyed many classes in the past we encourage you to  
pay your membership and not wait for the last minute.  Don't you want to  
help us reach our goal and watch us grow to 100 members?

We are facing new expenses this year and trying to build up funds to keep  
things going smoothly as in the past.

We have this membership drive now.  We have the cards to sell during  and 
after Convention in Orlando and we need to work on something that will carry  
us through to the end of this year.  So there will be another fund raiser  
coming up in the summer or early Fall.

As per  the contest rules which are below my signature, there appears to be
no  "early bird" benefits to registering before the June 26th deadline.

I  would think that is why people are not registering in April when there  
is
not a deadline until later in June, a full 2 months from  now.

2014-2015 MEMBERSHIP CONTEST RULES 

NATIONAL  FEDERATION OF THE BLIND, KRAFTERS DIVISION 

The Krafters Korner  Division of the National Federation of the Blind, NFB,
is hosting a contest  to increase membership to the Krafter's Division.  The
grand prize  will consist of 5 [Five] complete crafting kits to go with five
classes  taught during our Christmas in August. All kits will be complete
with  necessary materials with the exception of simple tools like  scissors,
needles and glue.   Please note this Exception. If the  Membership Drawing 
is
won by any member outside of the United States the  award will be different.
Members residing outside the United States will be  awarded a prize of Free
Membership dues for the next Three years. If the  winner of the drawing is
not in the United States and they would like to  accept the kits instead of
membership that individual would be responsible  for all shipping cost of 
the
kits to be mailed to their place of residence,  and not the responsibility 
of
the Krafters Division.

During  the General Membership Meeting of the Krafters Division at the
national  convention of the National Federation of the Blind held in  
Orlando,
Florida, a winner will be chosen from a drawing. If the Winner of  the
drawing is present at Convention, the prize will be given to the winner  and
it will be the responsibility of the winner to transport all kits  home.  If
the Winner is not in attendance at the national convention  then the winner
will be notified and the award will be shipped from  Orlando, to the home
address listed for the winner.
