[Nfbf-l] Rachel Jacobs National Scholarship Winner

[Kitty King]

Hello Rachel:

Congratulations!  I am very proud of your recent selection as a National 
Scholarship winner.  I served on the State scholarship committee last year, 
and had the privilege of meeting you, at that time.

Best wishes, also, to your new position, as President of the newly formed 
Sarasota chapter.

Kitty King

>> Hello Rachel,
>>
>> I must add my congratulations on your winning a national scholarship.
>>
>> I have served on the NFB Scholarship Committee on more than one occasion.
>> It was some of the hardest work I have ever done. The committee meets for
>> three days and once at national convention. The committee members read 
>> and
>> rank hundreds of applications, trying to determine which applicants have
>> that unique set of characteristics to be the blind movers and leaders of
>> tomorrow. There is arguing and persuading and sometimes bickering and
>> horse-trading going on during the meetings and breaks, but it is all in a
>> gallant attempt to make sure that the cream truly does rise to the very
>> top. Well, we as members of the NFBF can be assured that, in your case,
>> this has indeed happened this year.
>>
>> We look forward to watching as you walk across the banquet hall stage to
>> receive you well-earned award.
>>
>> We also look forward to seeing and working with you at the upcoming NFBF
>> State Convention in Boca Raton.
