**Please do not reply to this email, this is an announcement only mailbox**
Pre-Authorized Contribution Plan (PAC Plan) raffle opportunity for
increased or new PAC Plan pledges is open to December 31, 2021

PAC stands for Pre-Approved Contribution. Each month, the amount you
have designated automatically is deducted from your checking or savings
account. That sum, as little as $5, helps fund projects like NFB Free White
Cane program and also is used to take care of “rainy day” expenditures that
may be unexpected.


There’s something additional in it for you this year!  Anyone who opens a
new PAC plan or adds at least $5 to their existing PAC plan by December 31 will
have their name entered into a drawing for a $25 Amazon gift card. Contact
Mac Biggers, NFBNJ PAC Plan Coordinator, at 801 916 9753 to be entered into
the drawings.


To or make changes to existing contributions during state convention and
throughout the year complete our new, secure webform at the URL
http://www.NFB.org/PAC <http://www.nfb.org/PAC> to enroll or make changes
throughout the year to their PAC contributions. On the webform, existing
donors can increase their contribution. New donors are asked to indicate
their monthly contribution, the state and/or division to be credited, and
their credit card or bank account information. All contributors will be
asked to enter their contact information and electronically sign the form.
It is important that all donors carefully read the terms and conditions and
check the box indicating that they have done so before submitting the form;
in fact, the form cannot be submitted without this box being checked.
