[NFBF-Tampa] Contributions Needed for 50/50 Drawing

[Dan Hicks]

The difference now is only about five dollars. On about 10 October, five dollars will come out of the treasury to go to our national office, and that amount will actually set us into the red. (We will actually have a balance, but it will be below the balance at which we do not get a monthly charge from the bank.) So, we will remain close. So I am hoping to get at least $5.00 or $10.00 from five or six different people. Not only does that give us a nice little cushion, but it also will make the drawing more fun.

Thank you.

Dan Hicks,
Treasurer,
Tampa Chapter
National Federation of the blind of Florida

The chapter has a Square account, but that will involve your giving me a credit or debit card number via phone, text, or email, and I would rather not do that.
