Affiliate Presidents:



Last week, we had the soft launch of the $300,000 Imagination Fund
three month campaign and are gradually building up our army of
Imaginators to reach our goal.  As part of our campaign, we will be
reaching out to various funding sources across the country, and hope
each affiliate will be proactive in their participation.



Some affiliate presidents have already taken the initiative to set up
a Mobile Giving account.  In order to facilitate full participation,
we will be setting up Mobile Giving pages for each affiliate and I
encourage you, as the affiliate president, to share this with your
members.  The key word for your affiliate page will be the name of
your state, and feel free to encourage any individuals to request
their own page.



For those who were not able to participate on the Imagination Fund
call last Thursday, a description of the Mobile Giving tool, and
suggestions on how to use it will be distributed soon.  In addition,
another call will take place this Thursday at 9PM eastern.
Information about the call will be sent to all registered Imaginators.



Please provide the following information to setup your affiliate's
Mobile Giving page.

(The default Call to Action: The NFB raises the expectations of blind
people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people
and their dreams.  Blindness will not hold us back.)
