We are really excited, as this will be the first year we will be back together, in-person, in several years, and we can’t wait to see you again! <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">While our convention time is a wonderful experience learning from our special guest speakers, meeting with friends, exploring the latest new gadgets, acquiring blindness techniques and resources, mentoring new members, or networking while sharing a meal, it requires a lot of people working together to make this all happen smoothly! Here’s where you come in! Don’t worry! You won’t have to give a speech, or anything! All we need from you, is a simple little moment of your time! A moment of your time is all it will take to pass on a copy of the Door Prize Request Letter to friends, colleagues, local restaurants, movie theaters, large department stores, hair salons, neighborhood bakeries, bowling alleys, ice cream parlors, electronic stores, grocery stores, gas stations, or many other businesses that are in your local area. You may either request a specific item, or cash, in the form of a gift card, or voucher. You may even have something lying around in your home that is either handmade or new for which you have no need, but would like to donate. Think outside of the box! We ask that your donations be either brand new, or have a value of $20 or more.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">It's simple to donate a door prize! First, obtain an electronic or print copy of the Door Prize Request Letter from your chapter or division president, then carry several copies with you as you travel around town! Next, mail or schedule an opportunity to hand deliver the donation letter to the manager on duty at the business where you are requesting a donation. Once a donation is received but needs to be mailed directly to the designated collection point in Tucson, please follow the instructions in the Door Prize Request Letter. If you will be bringing your donation with you to the convention hotel in Tucson, it would be helpful if you would label it in Braille, prior to dropping it off at the Door Prize table, (next to the registration table), when you pick up your registration packet.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">That’s all there is to it! You would be surprised at how many people gladly make a donation, just because someone asked! So, take a moment. Request donations at your favorite establishments, and let’s collect some really awesome door prizes for this year’s convention in Tucson!<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">If you have any questions, please contact Vicki Hodges at:<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">602-403-9019<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="mailto:vjazz@cox.net">vjazz@cox.net</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">We appreciate your help!<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">NFB of Arizona 2022 Convention Door Prize Sub-Committee<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Vicki Hodges, Chair<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Debi Chatfield, Co-Chair<o:p></o:p></p></div><span>_______________________________________________</span><br><span>Nfbaz-news mailing list</span><br><span>Nfbaz-news@az.nfb.org</span><br><span>http://az.nfb.org/mailman/listinfo/nfbaz-news_az.nfb.org</span><br></div></blockquote></body></html>
