[NFBMT] 2017 Kenneth Jernigan Raffle Tickets are now gone

Sun Jul 2 19:11:07 UTC 2017

It's another year in Florida.  I think this will be the last year in Florida,
and then they will change locations.

Glad I didn't send money over today.
Still want to know if it is going to be in Texas or another year in Florida.

> 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

> transportation for two to and from Orlando, Florida, for the National
> Federation  of the Blind National Convention in July 2018. 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.

> 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. Please  send money and stubs for tickets
sold to:

> Jernigan Fund Committee

> 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

> drawing winner need not be present at the banquet to win.
