Through Amazon Smile you can help the NFB of New Jersey as you buy presents for your friends and family. If you haven’t yet signed up for Amazon Smile, please do so, and make the National Federation of the Blind of New Jersey your designated charity. Encourage the people in your network of friends and acquaintances to do the same. Then, when you purchase from Amazon, simply go to <a href="http://www.amazon.com/smile">www.amazon.com/smile</a>, and half of one percent will be donated to the NFBNJ. It doesn’t sound like much money per purchase, but when lots of people take part and buy lots of gifts, it adds up fast! Please give the NFBNJ a holiday present by using Amazon Smile!<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>Forwarded by:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Freestyle Script"'>Brian A.
