Memo To:   Donald C. Capps Award Committee, 

Chapter & Division Presidents & Others

From: David Houck, Chairman

 

The Donald C. Capps Award was established with the purpose of recognizing annually a blind member of the NFB of SC who has demonstrated leadership in their local chapter and/or division, Rocky Bottom Retreat and Conference Center of the Blind, the NFB of SC and NFB nationally.  It is awarded to that member who has gone the extra mile in service to the blind.  It is also given to that blind member who is well thought of by their peers in the NFB of SC.  You see, the membership of the NFB of SC nominates the candidates.

All you need to do to nominate a voting (blind) member of the NFB of SC is to send me a letter by no later than July 25 stating who you want to nominate, what this person has accomplished in the Federation, and what the candidate has done in work with the blind.  It helps if we receive letters from others who want to promote your candidate (to write us in their own words) as well.  In past years, there have been many good candidates nominated, and if you have promoted one from a previous year who has never received the award, feel free to nominate them again this year.  

Remember, get your letters in to David Houck, Donald C. Capps Award Committee Chairman, 119 S. Kilbourne Rd., Columbia, SC 29205  or to nfbsc at sc.rr.com no later than July 25.    The members of the Donald C. Capps Award Committee will all receive copies of your correspondence and will be polled to select the recipient.  The winning recipient must attend and will be announced at the NFB of SC Convention Banquet on Saturday evening, August 9 at the Marriott Hotel in Columbia.  Do not nominate a recipient from previous years.
Please read this memo at your next chapter meeting.  Be sure that your candidate is there which is a requirement to receive the award.  I look forward to hearing from you soon.  Should you have any questions, please call me at the state office at 803-254-3777.
