[Nfbmt] Bid for Equality Update

[Bruce&Joy Breslauer]

Greetings Fellow Federationists:

 

The Bid for Equality team is sending out a shout of encouragement.  Get your
packages in to the National Office (attention Raquel Minwell) by October 31,
2014.  We want to have time to get our wonderful packages organized and
ready to present for our second annual online auction.  Contact your local
hotels and entertainment venues and ask them to donate to our effort.  We
raised over $10,000 last year.  Let's try and exceed that amount with our
fabulous auction items.

 

Please remember to fill out the online form before sending in your packages.

The link is https://nfb.org/bid-equality-2014-affiliate-donation-form

 

In this email I have also included the following two documents:

 

1. The National auction letter- This is the template donation letter you can
use to help you solicit donations from local businesses. It has our tax ID,
contact info, info about the NFB etc.. 

 

2. Package details guide- This is a letter to the affiliates to help guide
them in the direction of creating a desirable package. It includes info on
what we are looking for (and what we cannot accept), examples of rock star
packages from last year, stats on what kind of packages did well etc.. It
also includes some logistical info as well. By this I am referring to things
to keep in mind when acquiring packages and how to submit your materials. 

 

Please note that we are looking to receive completed packages. We ask that
you collect all aspects of your package and send them to us at one time
rather than piece by piece. 

 

Our team will be calling everyone in the next couple of days to see if you
have any further questions regarding the process.

 

 

Thank you, Federation Family, for everything you do to help our organization
be a success!

Kindest regards,

 

Michelle Chacon
