There are now nine left.
I have sold 21 out of 30 Jernigan raffle tickets. Any more takers? See
below. Joy
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 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 can
accomplish the goals Dr. Jernigan set forth for us. Remember, the drawing
winner need not be present at the banquet to win.
Sincerely,
Allen Harris, Chairman

Live the life you want
The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.
