<p class="p1"><span style="font-family: '.SFUIText-Semibold'; font-size: 17pt;">Hello members of the board, members, friends, and supporters of the National Federation of the blind of Arizona - Phoenix chapter. As the titular head of the Christmas party committee, this is my report after such a successful celebration.</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s2"></span><br></p>
<p class="p3"><span class="s2">I am delighted to report that with had no problems nor negative incidents whatsoever to report during our wonderful Christmas party. We had about 60 people from all three different chapters, and even some from outside the NFB family enjoying the best time in the most peaceful and friendly celebration.</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s2"></span><br></p>
<p class="p3"><span class="s2">The gift exchange table when better than any other year before, all thanks to our beautiful elf LaDona Derocher, who took care of every single person that brought a gift, and who also made sure that everyone who brought a present, left the party with one as well. Thank you lady, not even Santa could ask for a better helper than you.</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s2"></span><br></p>
<p class="p3"><span class="s2">Our 50-50 raffle, was a great success. We've collected the amount of $138, benefiting our Phoenix Chapter with the amount of $69.00. I would like to extend my appreciation to Chip Tyrell, and Mat Waller, for helping the chapter with the sale of the tickets, and also to take down the names from the ticket buyers. Also to our lovely treasurer Donna-Lee Silba, for letting us borrow her innocent hand, by drawing the name of the winner. Thank you guys, we are so lucky to have you with us.</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s2"></span><br></p>
<p class="p3"><span class="s2">And speaking of the 50-50 raffle,<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>congratulations are in order to our chapter president Brad Kuhn, who went home this year with the 50-50 raffle prize in the amount of $69.00. But that was not pure luck, because he was the one who bought the most tickets for this raffle. Thank you Mr President, you are always so very splendid.</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s2"></span><br></p>
<p class="p3"><span class="s2">1 million thanks go to our guest from the west valley chapter mister President Marcus Schmidt, Who joined our celebration and also delighted us all with his beautiful voice and guitar, singing the traditional Christmas carols. Thank you sir, that was amazing. We hope to have you again every year.</span></p>

<p class="p3"><span class="s2">And of course I just could not forget to say thanks to everybody at claim Jumper, who allow our chapter for three years in a row to have the use of the back room for our total privacy and enjoinment. Without that room, we wouldn't have been able to do all that we did. Especially, I would like to thank Tory, Randy, and Karlley; The three kind and gorgeous waitresses from the restaurant. They took really good care of all of us. Thank you girls.</span></p>
