you respond to.  Thank you very much.

1. Is the material in the Toolkit helpful?  What can you do with it?

2.  What would you like to have that is not now included?

3.  Does your affiliate or any of your chapters now conduct an event that
raises5000 dollars or more?  If so, please provide a short description.

4.  Would you like to have someone from another state who has experience
raising funds available as a consultant?  We understand that this advice is
free and does not have to be taken.

national conventions or Washington seminars or send someone from your state
to do so?

a goal of building a new event or improving an existing one.  Please provide
that person's name, email address, and phone number.

7.  Do any of your chapters or the state affiliate currently combine
fundraising with Meet-the-Blind Month activities?  Would you like to
participate in discussion about doing this?

8.  Does your affiliate or any of your chapters do a walk-a-thon,
bike-a-thon,or a similar event? If so, who leads it?  Do you think we should
try to coordinate events of this type?

facebook? through the state affiliate leadership list? or some other way?
If other, please specify.

10.  Do you have other general comments or suggestions regarding fundraising
