> RE: THE KENNETH JERNIGAN FUND RAFFLE 2018



> 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 the National Federation of the Blind
> National Convention in July 2019. 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

>             c/o Susan Skaarer

>             National Federation of the Blind

>             200 East Wells Street

>             Baltimore, Maryland 21230



> 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.



> 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,



> Allen Harris, Chairman

> Assisted by Joy Harris and Jay Cobb

> Kenneth Jernigan Fund Committee



> Joy Breslauer, President

> National Federation of the Blind of Montana

> The National Federation of the Blind is a community of members and friends
> who believe in the hopes and dreams of the nation's blind. Every day we work
> together to help blind people live the lives they want.
