2016 ORLANDO CHARTER BUS TICKETS

              At the October 15 chapter meeting the 2016 Orlando NFB
National Convention bus tickets were distributed to assist in getting
members to the July convention next year.  These $1 bus tickets are
available from David Houck at the Federation Center and money from ticket
sales and filled out ticket stubs should be turned in to David Houck.  The
drawing will be held at the Statewide Seminar on January 9, 2016 and the
seller and buyer of that ticket drawn will each receive $300; or if you
bought your own ticket, you will receive $600!  The NFB of SC chapter or
division selling the most tickets will receive $300 for their treasury.  We
must get out there and sell as many tickets as   possible in order to fund
the chartered bus and to win the $300 for the Columbia Chapter!

 

CHAPTER AND STATE DUES

              It's not too early to begin turning in your chapter and state
dues of $15 for 2016 for the Columbia Chapter.  Remember that we need to
have your name, address, phone number and email address if you have one.
These things do change and if we do not have updated information, we cannot
keep you up to date on what's going on.  The deadline for dues is January
31, so why wait!
