Dear Friend:

 

The National Federation of the Blind of New Jersey will be hosting it's 41st
Annual State Convention, "Live The Life You Want; Let's Make It Happen,"
November 9 - 12, 2017, at the Holiday Inn in Manahawkin, NJ. We're looking
for items to use for door prizes and fund-raisers at the event. Can you help
us out?

 

As you may know, the National Federation of the Blind is a non-profit,
private  sector resource of knowledge, support and encouragement for people
who are  blind (Federal 501(c)(3) ID #22-2716500). Take a look at our
website: www.nfbnj.org <http://www.nfbnj.org> 

 

We offer training and advocacy to blind people and parents of blind
children, and work to remove legal, economic and societal barriers so that
blind people can participate fully in employment, education, recreation and
all other aspects of community life. Our annual convention is one way we
work toward achieving these goals.

 

Hundreds of blind people, parents of blind children, service providers,
technology producers/distributors, inventors of products designed to enhance
accessibility and independence, and representatives from rehabilitation
services, agencies, private agencies for the blind and the New Jersey
Talking Book and Braille Center attend our annual convention. At our
convention, we also award scholarships to deserving young blind scholars. 

 

Door prizes and surprises make this event even more exciting. Because we are
financed only by contributions from our members, friends and well-wishers,
we hope you'll be able to help us out with a gift we can use as a door prize
or fund-raiser item. Your tax deductible contribution(s) checks should be
made payable to National Federation of the Blind of New Jersey.

 

Mail to:

Jane Degenshein, Chair of Auction/Donations of the NFBNJ

If more convenient, call 973 736 5785 or email us at jdegen16 at comcast.net
<mailto:jdegen16 at comcast.net>  and we'll arrange for the item to be picked
up. We'll look forward to hearing from you soon.

 

Sincerely,
