> Yes, I finally got some.

> I will try to get ten sent to Billings by tomorrow in time for your meeting,
> in case you guys want to do something with them.

> Here is the text of the accompanying letter.

> Snip snip

> Dear Colleague:

> As you are aware, we established the Kenneth Jernigan Convention Scholarship
> Fund at our 1998  convention in Dallas, Texas. The support from members and
> friends has been both generous and  enthusiastic. The committee is again
> sponsoring a limited edition raffle to raise money for the Kenneth  Jernigan
> Fund. The ticket cost is ten dollars. This drawing will yield at least
> $10,000 net for the Kenneth  Jernigan Fund.

> You might ask, "What's in it for me?" Here is what's in it for you. If you
> are the winner of this drawing, you  will receive round-trip air
> transportation for two to and from Orlando, Florida, for the National
> Federation  of the Blind National Convention in July 2017. You will also
> receive lodging at that year's convention hotel  for seven days during the
> convention. You will receive registration and banquet tickets for two. In
> addition,  you will receive a cash prize of $1,000. On the other hand, if you
> don't win but you sell the winning ticket,  your chapter will receive $500.
> You do not have to be present to win.

> Again this year, the tickets are not pre-numbered, a cost savings we can all
> appreciate. We are asking each state affiliate to either sell or buy its
> allotment of tickets. If you choose to  buy tickets for your affiliate, a
> suggested use is to donate tickets to the door prize chairman to be included
> with regular convention prize drawings.

> We believe these tickets are being distributed early enough so that all sales
> can be final by June 15.

> Joy's comment: Oops!

> Continuing with the letter:

> After June 15, please bring ticket stubs, money, and any unsold tickets to
> the national convention and turn  them in at the Jernigan Fund table. Please
> have checks made payable to the National Federation of the  Blind and note KJ
> Fund on the memo line.

> Be sure to endorse the back of the ticket stubs with your chapter name so we
> can send your chapter $500  should the ticket you sold be the winner. If you
> choose to buy the tickets so you can donate them to the  door prize
> committee, please endorse each stub (leave  the ticket attached) and return
> the whole tickets  with your check and instructions that the tickets are to
> be turned over to the door prize committee.

> We are counting on you to help build the Kenneth Jernigan Fund so we can
> accomplish the goals  Dr. Jernigan set forth for us.

> If you are unable to sell your allocation of tickets, please contact Allen
> Harris at (205) 520-9979. We look  forward to seeing you in Orlando.

> Sincerely,

> Joy here again.  Well, I dropped the ball, y'all.  I got an email in April
> about these and I was supposed to be sent some, but I didn't think they came.
> After these new ones came, a light went on in my little head and I looked in
> a pile of stuff I had set aside and would get to later, and what do you know,
> there the original tickets were, so now I have two sets.  As the letter said,
> each ticket is worth ten dollars.  I already know from some people that they
> want some.  So I'll try to get these distributed asap, and if anybody wants
> to bring the cash or checks or whatever to convention, or to make sure I get
> it before I leave, I'll make sure it gets to the proper people so we will get
> credit for as many tickets as we can sell between now and then.  I'm really
> sorry, everybody.  I'm doing such a great job!  Elect that dodo brain for
> another two years.

> Live the life you want

> The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the

> between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
> blindness is not what holds you back.
