[Nfbmt] Good Examples of Fundraising ... what do we want to do?

[President, NFB of Montana]

Below are some good examples of fundraising.  I know we had said that we
want to raffle off a Victor Stream at the convention, but we might reach a
wider audience by submitting the raffle to other lists to gain a wider
audience.  We might also think about something else to raffle off that would
have a more general appeal to a wider audience.  Just some suggestions.  I
know our funds are low, though.  Hence, the need for fundraising.  Joy
