[NFBofSC] FW: Donald C. Capps Award

[David Houck]

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 24 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 24.    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
10 at the Marriott Hotel in Columbia.  

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.

 

Please send nominations by no later than July 24 to:

David Houck, Chairman
