Are you looking for a meaningful way for your chapter members to help with our national programs? Spend some time at your August chapter meeting voting for the NFB Youth Slam in the Pepsi Refresh Everything contest. Seth Lamkin gives the details in the following announcement.

 

========================

 

Attention NFB Chapter Presidents:

 

The first week of voting for the 2011 NFB Youth Slam in the Pepsi Refresh project is coming to a close and our project has been hovering around the mid 40s since Pepsi corrected their ranking system earlier this week. Remember everyone, only the top 2 projects in our category actually receive the money. We desperately need every chapter president to push this important opportunity in their chapter whether through e-mail, Facebook, Twitter, texting, or at chapter meetings. In fact, chapter meetings would be a perfect opportunity for everyone to take the time to vote. Remember, you can vote via text message (the easiest method) by putting the number 101913 in the body of a text and sending that text to 73774. For those without text messaging, go to www.refresheverything.com/nfbyouthslam, click the vote button to sign in, then click the vote button once more to log your vote. Detailed instructions are available at www.nfb.org. You can also sign up for daily e-mail reminders using the link on www.nfb.org. The NFB Youth Slam is a vital program that shows how blind students can participate and excel in science subjects, if only given the opportunity and encouragement. As with all of our programs, it is an important step towards the complete integration and acceptance of the blind into every part of society on a basis of equality. With your help we can make it a reality and pull in this grant from Pepsi!

 

Thank you,
