[NFBC-Info] Have a great time at convention

[Edward Davis]

As you pack your bags and head off to convention think about this.

Have you ever thought about what life would be like if you did not have your
mobility cane?

The 2022 NFB/C convention is just around the corner. The NFB INLAND EMMMPIRE
CHAPTER is working with the You Cane Give Initiative to put canes in the
hands of the blind in 3rd world countries where canes are not available to
them.

So please don't forget to pack those broken or unused canes.

We need your help so that we can help others.

We are asking people to donate their broke or old canes.

We are also asking for donations of new canes and tips as well as tax
deductible donations of money to help with the repair and shipping of the
canes so any help you can give will help in this effort.

If you can and would like to help, please do so by bringing your old canes
to convention with you. You can contact Michael Richardson at (323) 898-3223
or Cheryl Thurston (909) 821-9589 to give them your canes at convention.

Everyone that donates will be put into a door prize drawing that will take
place during the banquet.

The grand Prize will be a custom cane valued at $150.

Second will be a $50 gift card.

Third will be a $25 gift card.

If not attending convention you can send your canes directly to You Cane
Give at, To: Mr. James Boehm 

7303 Althorp Way 

Nashville, TN 37211 (canes can be sent via free matter for the blind).

If you can make a monetary donation you can go to

whose lives have been changed.

The Inland Empire Chapter and the You Cane Give Initiative thanks you for
whatever you can do to help others.

Have a great time at convention.
