Imagination Fund Blind Driver Experience<BR><BR></FONT></DIV><BR>Dear
Colleagues:<BR><BR> <BR><BR>This is Parnell Diggs, Chairman of the National
Federation of the Blind Imagination Fund. By now, you are aware of the new
Imagination Fund initiative launched a few days ago for those who raise
significant resources in the 2011 Race for Independence. On the afternoon
of Tuesday, July 5, we will be giving thirty Federationists a chance to
participate in the Blind Driver Experience during the Orlando National
Convention.<BR><BR> <BR><BR>What is the Blind Driver Experience?
Thirty Federationists from across the nation will have the opportunity to choose
three friends and join a trained blind driver for a ride in the Blind Driver
Challenge™ car and get an up-close look at the exciting new technology that made
it possible for a blind person to drive a car on the Daytona International
Speedway.<BR><BR> <BR><BR>Participants can dialogue with a blind driver
about how the technology works and where we will go from this historic
milestone. But to qualify to have a chance to take part in this
incredible, once in a lifetime opportunity, you must raise at least $1000 by
June 15, 2011.<BR><BR> <BR><BR>Here is how the selections will be
made. The top ten Imaginators in the nation in terms of money raised will
qualify automatically. There will then be twenty additional participants
selected in a drawing from those who raise at least $1000 by June 15. The
time and date of the drawing will be announced soon.<BR><BR> <BR><BR>In
short, there are two ways to get selected. You can finish among the top
ten Imaginators, or you can have your name drawn from among those who raise at
least $1000 by June 15. You must also register for the National
Convention. Many of you are well on the way to $1000, so please keep
working at it. There is still enough time remaining to qualify for the
Blind Driver Experience.<BR><BR> <BR><BR><FONT color=#0000ff size=2>Feel
