I’m writing once again to ask for your help to obtain items for our annual fundraising auction. This is by far our largest fundraiser and in years past we have brought in over $3000.00! Let’s not let 2014 be the year we fall short. As with many initiatives it takes teamwork to make the event so successful. To that end I need all Louisville members (and our extended Federation family too if you’d like!) to roll up your sleeves and start bringing in those auction items. The NFBGL board of directors can’t do this alone, we need your help. Please find attached the 2014 NFBGL Auction Donation Request letter. Please save it to your computer and either email it or print it and deliver it to anyone whom you feel may be interested in donating to our auction. No items are too small. Often we can bundle several small things to make a really nice package. Gift cards are good, as well as those unused holiday gifts that you know you’ll never use, but don’t want to send back. As always, if you have any questions please feel free to email or call me directly. My phone number is 502-262-1403. Thanks in advance for your hard work!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Warm Regards,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Melanie<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>--<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Melanie Peskoe, President<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>National Federation of the Blind of Greater Louisville<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Find us on Facebook & Twitter (NFBGL) or call 502-495-7130<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:#C00000'>Support the National Federation of the Blind of Kentucky when you shop Amazon through the following web address: <a href="http://www.smile.amazon.com">www.smile.amazon.com</a>. 0.5% of your purchase price will go to NFBK.
