[NFB_of_Georgia] Kenneth Jernigan Fund Ticket Available for Purchase

[Dorothy Griffin]

Greetings Fellow Federationist of Georgia, I have in my possession 50
Kennith Jernigan Fund raffle tickets.  Those of you who know what these
tickets represent if you win and are not going to the National Convention
have the chance to purchase them.  If you are going to the convention you
may still purchase them early.  Please read the information below.  If you
want to purchase tickets please contact Naata Watkins, nwatkins at nfbga.org
or Dorothy Griffin, dgriffin at nfbga.org.  Please spread the word to your
chapter, division members and friends.


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 2020. 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.

The National Federation of the Blind 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.
