[Nfbf-l] JAX netbook computer raffle

[Gina Minichiello]

Hello everyone
The netbook computer raffle was such a hit at national convention that the Jacksonville Chapter decided to give it a try. It is going well so far. We started this week and collected $189. Yesterday at the mall we sold $112 worth of tickets during our Meet the Blind month event. I sold 7 tickets to the cashiers at the counter when I picked up the computer. Chapters may want to consider this for a fundraiser. This would make a nice holiday gift. Here are the details.

Tickets are $1.00 or 6 tickets for $5.00
