[Nfbmt] ideas for national convention

Thu May 8 03:37:30 UTC 2014

Hi Ted.  It's unfortunate this didn't come up a few weeks sooner.  Usually
the first Saturday of May is when the RMEF has our annual banquet when many
of these types of things are available for members to pick up.  However, I
can talk to Randi and see if he can go to or call the foundation to see what
they may still have on hand.  I'm thinking of something such as a small
statue of an elk or something like that.  In the past, they often have
pictures of elk or occasionally statues.  If Randi can find something like a
statue, small enough to transport in a car seat, for example, small enough
for someone to hold on their lap while riding in a car, would that work?  If
so, I can call Randi and see if he will make time to go see what he can
find.  If they will donate something like that, could we mention the
foundation as the donor at the banquet when the door prize is awarded?  If
they will donate something, they will probably want recognition.  If a
statue or sculpture such as I've described above would work, then I will
talk to Randi about it.  Please let me know one way or another.

Becca,
	Thanks for your suggestion.  Since this post was for ideas about
"door prizes", could it be an item easily transported (To take to and for
the recipient to take home)?
	If you could have Randy check this out for us, it would be
appreciated.
	If we were to have a drawing, it would entail selling raffle tickets
which I see would fall under a "fund raising" project.
	Keep up the good thinking and do good with your studies.  I am sure
you will be impressed with the things you will learn at Blind Inc.  I am
excited for you.
Keep me posted.
Ted

Hi Ted.  I think maybe we could offer something that is uniquely Montanan.
Randi and I are members of the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation.  I am of
course tied up in Minneapolis but I could ask Randi if he will go to the
RMEF and see what beautiful elk piece of art he could find.  Then we could
raffle that off or whatever you guys want to do with it.  Let me know.  I
could talk to Randi about it and open the door so you could call him about
it if you'd rather.

Greetings,

                Several of us are planning on attending the NFB National
convention in Orlando this July.

                We should have a, or some door prizes to be given away from
Montana.  Do any of you (members of the NFB of MT) have a good idea for door
prizes that we can take to represent Montana?  Generally in the past we have
just provided $$'s, since it is easy to take and if received, easy to bring
home.

                How about it.  Do you have any ideas?

Thanks for your indulgence.

Ted
