[Nfbk] Thank You

[Jennifer Hall]

Nickie,
Thank you for reminding us about the social media aspect.  However, I 
didn't forget about it.  I used the Heytell App and told everyone on the 
NFBK group the auction details.  I also asked you to announce my 
Rock-A-Thon event I held last October 20-and nothing was ever posted to 
facebook, twitter, or listserve.    This event is very important to me 
and even though I use it as a personal fundraising event for the Murray 
Chapter, I actually use it to promote Blindness-not an easy task in my 
itty-bitty town where blind people are still seen as freaks of nature.   
over the past 8 years, I have been able to hold this event six times and 
passed out countless goodie bags (donated by American Printing House) 
full of Newsline Brochures, Alphabet cards, Kernel books, and many more 
NFB publications-only to have many of them thrown in the trash as soon 
as someone found the nearest can.  In all those years, only one of my 
Fedration family have said thank you for promoting the cause-Michael 
Freholm.  It may not be the most elaborate of fundraisers, but I do my 
best to educate while  raising funds for the chapter.

So, I am sorry if you did not get or listen to my Heytell message with 
the details, but I always try and use that to let you guys know what is 
going on in our area.  As a matter of fact, I will be doing two events 
this month.  First, May 4, Derby Day in Salem.  I'll be selling Nachos  
and Mint Julips  and passing out Newsline brochures from 10AM-3PM.  
Then, on May 11, I'll be selling Mint Julips, pickles, & pickle pops at 
the Herb Festival in Carrsville, KY-my mom's hometown.  My federation 
family would be welcomed to join me anytime in these efforts!

Blessings,
Jennifer
