There are different efforts to raise funds for different<br>divisions and affiliates and the creativity and ingenuity of our Federation<br>family is amazing, but VABS is here to satisfy your practical needs. The<br>Virginia Association of Blind Students will be holding a week-long raffle<br>that all members and attendees can participate in. VABS will be raffling off<br>a prize of a $50 uber gift card every two days during convention. Here is<br>how the fundraiser will work:<br><br><br><br>1. The tickets will sell for $5 or three tickets for $10.<br>2. We will pull a winner for an uber gift card every two days at 10pm.<br>So, at 10pm on July 4,6, and 8, a winner will be pulled.<br>3. If you are a national convention attendee, we will find you at the<br>convention if your name is pulled.<br>4. We will accept payments in the form of cash, check, Venmo, and Cash<br>App. <br>5. You do not have to be present to win this prize. We will take prior<br>orders for tickets as well. If you are interested, simply contact Robert<br>Parsons, President, at 804.801.7674. In the event a member wins that is not<br>attending the convention, we will send the gift card to an address you will<br>provide once we notify you of your win.<br><br>If there are any further questions about this opportunity, please feel free<br>to email or call me at the above phone number. I look forward to connecting<br>with all of you in the future.<br><br><br><br>With Love, Hope, and Determination<br><br><br><br><br><br>Robert E.
