<DIV>Greetings colleagues, , </DIV>

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The Membership Committee needs your help! This coming Sunday , August
18th,</DIV>
<DIV>we will begin hosting the Open House calls that President Riccobono
spoke</DIV>
<DIV>about at our national convention this year. We need your help to get
the</DIV>
<DIV>word out to those who may be interested in becoming a member but would
like</DIV>
<DIV>to know more about the National Federation of the Blind. You can help
by</DIV>
<DIV>making sure that your chapters are putting information out to your
social</DIV>
<DIV>media outlets. To better help you to do so the Communications team has
put</DIV>
<DIV>together a tool kit for you with templates that you can use on social
media.</DIV>
<DIV>I have attached and copied the tool kit to this message. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Your help is appreciated. Let's go build the National Federation of
the</DIV>
<DIV>Blind!</DIV>
