>
> You may ask, "What is a Reverse Raffle?" Well, simply put, a reverse raffle is instead of the first name drawn out of the bucket being the big winner...it's the very last name drawn out that wins the $500 prize!  But wait...there's more!  The second to last name drawn out wins $250& the 1st, 25th, 50th, 75th& so on, each win $25.
>
>       Each chance is $10& obviously, the more you buy the more you could win!  The drawing begins on Friday October 4th at our State Convention. You can purchase chances up until 6pm that evening. We spread the drawing out&  the winner is drawn at our banquet on October 5th. Please note, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE PRESENT TO WIN!
>
>
>       All of our NFB of Kentucky Board members have chances for you to purchase. If you are not near any of those fine people, you can also get in touch with you local chapter President or you can e-mail our State President, Cath Jackson at, cathyj1949 at gmail.com
>
>       This fundraiser helps defer costs of our State Convention& fund our Scholarship program. Chances are $10 each, you can even go in halfers with a friend or family member!  If you have any questions, please call, 502-495-7130.

> For those of you who don't already know, Buffa Hanse was recently hit by a car while crossing a major intersection and sustained some pretty severe injuries; including bleeding on the brain and numerous broken bones (facial bones, arm, wrist, ribs, both legs and ankle).  I talked to her for the first time today and she actually sounded quite good considering...  In typical "Buffa" fashion, she's ready to get on with it; and is eager to recover and get back to work.  All of her surgeries seem to have gone well.  She's on strong pain meds but says she's not worried about the pain.  She's more concerned about having to use a wheelchair when she returns to work.  That's our Buffa!
>
> She says she's not allowed to put any weight on her leg for at least 8 to 12 weeks and she can't use her left arm at all right now.
>
> Today she is being moved to a skilled nursing facility for several weeks of rehab.  She hates that she's having to go to a "nursing home"; but apparently she needs more rehab than what her insurance would pay for at an actual rehab facility.  I'll forward the new contact info when I get it.
>
> A friend from Buffa's synagogue has set up a page for her on caringbridge.org.  This is a site where you can view updates on her condition and leave messages for her.  Just do a search for her name and a link will come up to her page.  Just a note though: you do have to set up an account.  Also, there is a Caring Bridge mobile app for the iPhone.  I'm not sure about android.  She said someone is reading the messages people post to her; and she really seemed to enjoy hearing everybody's get well wishes.  So, I encourage you to sign up and leave her a note; since it's such an easy way for us to get updates and keep in touch with her.
>
> I am still collecting money for a gift and probably won't get it out in the mail to her until next week; since I have to wait until I get the address of the nursing facility.  So, if you haven't already and would like to contribute, you can either bring me cash, mail a check to my home or the McDowell Center or send it via PayPal.  My PayPal account is tonton at insightbb.com.
>
> If you'd like to call Buffa, she still has the same cell phone number that she had when she was in Louisville.  Feel free to email or call me, if you don't have it.  I'd be more than happy to help braille any cards or letters to send to her.
>
> Please forward this info to anyone who you think would want to know about Buffa's accident.  I'm trying to get the word out to all her friends and former coworkers in KY but I've no doubt left out some people.
>
> I'll wrap up by sharing that when I asked Buffa what we could do for her or if she needed anything; she just requested for us to pray that her bones heal properly and that she have a quick recovery.  So, please continue to keep her in your thoughts and prayers.
