[NFBA-Phoenix] Assistance with convention and fundraising

[Brad Kuhn]

Most people that are selling the lanyards will have one to transfer their stuff. I did already speak with sherand about how to disburse the tickets that people are getting so that those could be done ahead of time and she said it would be no problem. If it is a problem then please tell me but I figured we made the whole process easy for those that are getting assistance with their tickets.

Then, the attendee can transfer their documents into their newly purchased  lanyard and as you say "wear the lanyard proudly'. Then , at the end of convention should the attendee want to return the name  badge with the lanyard  that  was given by Registration team he/she freely do so. Otherwise keep it.

You stated and I quote"Please don't take that lanyard but use the one that our chapter is selling."   ( A Better rephrase would be, Please transfer your documents to your  newly purchased lanyard and wear it proudly"
> I do not know if you are aware that the registration team strives tirelessly to reduce the amount time each attendee has to spends at our table. This time is decreased with pre- registration . Knowing what the attendee wants  allow the  team to make lanyards in  advance. Each lanyard includes attendee 's name badge with any meal ticket requests  including the banquet. These  items are inserted in the lanyard so once the attendee approaches the registration station and advise the team of their name all we have to do is verify payment has been made or collect it then, pass the attendee his Name Badge with lanyard. This keeps the line moving so others can be service quickly. Those who have not pre-register takes longer.
> Secondly, to my  knowledge the NFB has never required that an attendee must leave his  name badge and lanyard. However, it has been suggested that if the attendee left his name badge and lanyard it would reduce registration cost for the next year. This remains their FREE choice .

> Hello fellow Venetian Federation family; I hope everyone is geared up for a fun filled weekend of fellowship and philosophy. As you all know, state convention is right around the corner. Well, here is another "F" for you. Fundraising! I am pleased to announce that this year we will be assisting with 13 of our members during the state convention. This is something that we have not done in over 15 years. As a reminder, it is because of the efforts of the Phoenix chapter when I comes to fundraising that we can do this. That is why I am asking that all of you that I have lanyards to sell for the Phoenix chapter to bring those lanyards to convention and sell them with full force. Remember, we are selling the lanyards at eight dollars for $15 for two, or $20 for three. I did ask Debra Smith if we could sell the lanyards during the karaoke on Friday and she gave us permission.  I think it is important to show the rest of the affiliate how strong the Phoenix chapter is. I ask that each of you that are selling the lanyards, make sure that you are wearing the lanyards proudly. I know  That at registration, they will be giving you a lanyard to wear but that you have to return back to the state when convention is done. Please don't take that lanyard but use the one that our chapter is selling. When you are selling the lanyards, make sure that you let people know that half of what we raise will go to the state affiliate. I cannot wait to see each and every one of you at the convention and I am looking forward to to seeing each and everyone of you. Sincerely, Brad Kuehne Phoenix chapter president
