[Nfbmo] Heritage For the Blind

[DanFlasar at aol.com]

Gene,
   It's from ValuPack - an envelope I get every week or so  stuffed with 
coupons for restaurants, carpet cleaners, dry-cleaners and so  on.  This is 
the first time I've ever seen one of their flyers.  It  doesn't really say 
much other than their phone #, the come-on to donate your  car, a website URL 
and that they help prevent blindness by urging people to make  an appointment 
w/ an eye doctor.
   But I've got it and can send it on. I can also scan it and  attach it if 
anyone wants it.
Dan
