<DIV>Greetings to all!</DIV>
<DIV>Received from Vee Gaspa.</DIV>
<DIV>This is the third year that we have collected unwanted canes at the
state
convention.</DIV>
<DIV>Please bring whatever you can and bring to the door prize table.</DIV>
<DIV>Info is provided for your sharing consideration.</DIV>

<DIV>From: Veronica Gaspa </DIV>
<DIV>Hello Joe,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Below is something James sent me that we can send to the
membership.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Turn Your"convention" Into a "Cane-Vention!" With the </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>You Cane Give Initiative</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Wondering what to do with that old cane you no longer use in the
closet?
Is</DIV>
<DIV>that drawer of used canes collecting dust and taking up space? Donate
your</DIV>
<DIV>old canes to the "You Cane Give" program. We are collecting donated
canes
to</DIV>
<DIV>refurbish and send to individuals who are blind and visually impaired
around</DIV>
<DIV>the world. Let's face it, we have it good in America. With the click of
a</DIV>
<DIV>button, we can order almost anything we need, including a cane. In
countries</DIV>
<DIV>like Mexico, China, India, and South Africa, people do not have access
to</DIV>
<DIV>the proper tools to empower independence and success. Do not let your
canes</DIV>
<DIV>go to waste! "You Cane Give" allows you to help us give your used
cane to a</DIV>
<DIV>person far away who needs it!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>James Boehm has spoken with many individuals around the world who
have</DIV>
<DIV>shared heartbreaking stories of family and friends who have died
because
of</DIV>
<DIV>attempting to travel across the street without a cane. Initially, our
focus</DIV>
<DIV>was on empowering the blind, changing stereotypes, and equipping
for</DIV>
<DIV>equality and independence. But we realized that it is so much more
than</DIV>
<DIV>that. "Blind people are actually losing their lives," In our trip to
Kenya,</DIV>
<DIV>blind organizations are referring to the shortage of canes as a "white
cane</DIV>
<DIV>famine!" You Cane Give not only empowers the lives of the blind, but it
also</DIV>
<DIV>saves lives. We are in need of canes in all sizes. We are able to
send</DIV>
<DIV>folding canes overseas, but straight canes can be donated to
individuals</DIV>
<DIV>within the United States. We have contacts in Peru, Nigeria, Kenya,
Ghana,</DIV>
<DIV>the Philippines, and South Africa wishing for a cane of their own. As
of</DIV>
<DIV>October 2019, we have sent over 400 canes to over 14 countries around
the</DIV>
<DIV>world, thanks to your support! Our state convention is a great
opportunity</DIV>
<DIV>to throw used canes into your suitcase. As a thank you, You Cane Give
will</DIV>
<DIV>donate a Kustom Cane gift certificate and other cool accessories
for
door</DIV>
<DIV>prizes as a thank you for your support! Bring your donated canes or
tips
to</DIV>
<DIV>the You Cane Give designated location! Thank you so much!! We
appreciate</DIV>
<DIV>your generosity!</DIV>
