There are two crucial benchmarks that must be met in our outreach regarding the NFB-NEWSLINE service across the country. The first is promoting regular usage among current subscribers, and the second is adding new subscribers to the service. The ratio of print impaired individuals not subscribed, but yet eligible remains very low at a little over four percent in this state.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>We need everyone in this state to be actively involved in promoting this service. Blind and sighted alike are welcome to participate in this campaign. There is no guarantee that NFB-NEWSLINE Kentucky will always be available; we cannot take this world class reading service for granted. NFB-NEWSLINE is a treasured resource for the print impaired in this state and around the country. Therefore, I would like to introduce a promotional campaign known as the NFB-NEWSLINE Kentucky Visa Drawing. The name of any individual who refers a subscriber, or subscribers to the NFB-NEWSLINE® audio reading service will receive one ticket per referral to be placed into a hopper for a special drawing. Please note that subscribers to the NFB-NEWSLINE® service are only eligible if they have a qualifying print impairment. For reference those impairments are in the following categories: vision, fine motor skills and cognition. Any person working on the NFB-NEWSLINE Kentucky project will not be eligible for this drawing. Self-referrals are not eligible either. Feel free to refer a spouse, sibling, parent(s) or children. Please be sure that you discuss and clear with the perspective referral, though. If the referral that you submit is not willing to participate in this audio reading service known as NFB-NEWSLINE®, you will not get credit for a referral. Lastly, the referral must reside in Kentucky.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>We will conclude this campaign during the NFB Kentucky State Convention. the name of the winner from this giveaway will be drawn during our banquet along with all of the other drawings that we have.
