Greetings Fellow Federationists:

 

As we continue to recognize and celebrate black history month, Debra Canty,
President of our Sumter Chapter sent a piece for me to share in the Positive
Note. She said that MR. Finney attends the Sumter Chapter Christmas Gala and
learns something each time he attends.

 

Ernest A. Finney's Biography
Ernest “Chip” Finney is the first born son of hard working teachers who knew
the value of education.  His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Finney, Jr, worked
to instill a thirst for knowledge in their three children.
Finney graduated from Sumter High School in 1973.  He earned a Bachelor of
Arts degree from Wofford College in 1977 and a Juris Doctor degree from the
University of South Carolina School of Law in 1980.
Finney returned home to practice law in the firm founded by his father, who
in 1990 was elected to the position of Chief Justice of the South Carolina
Supreme Court.
Finney earned a reputation as a successful trial attorney, and practitioner
of the law. He represented both individuals and corporations in the state
and federal courts throughout South Carolina.
Finney’s career has always included public service. He served as a member of
the Public Defender Corporation, was elected President of the South Carolina
Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, President of the South Carolina
Black Lawyers Association, and President of the Goodfellows Club of Sumter.
In 2004 Finney was selected to serve as a Municipal Court Judge for the City
of Columbia, a position he held until 2010.
Finney was elected in November 2010 to serve as the Solicitor for the Third
Judicial Circuit.  This district includes Clarendon, Lee, Sumter and
Williamsburg Counties.  
Finney and his wife Tammy have been blessed and challenged with the
nurturing and support of four children.

If so, come spend a weekend with some of those same people, both sighted and
blind, as we put together a reunion weekend at Rocky Bottom during Memorial
Day weekend in May 2021. This will be a great time to catch up with others,
and hear some stories of other’s experiences from camp.

If you are interested, please contact Thom Spittle via email
RockyBottomInfo at gmail.com <mailto:RockyBottomInfo at gmail.com> , or call
803-331-3344.

              We will try to get a transportation plan in place if you

There will be a $100 per person cost for food and other entertainment
expenses.

If you would like to bring a spouse or your immediate family, we should be
able to accommodate that. I hope to hear from you,

              PAC Plan Challenge:

              We will be running a contest from December 5, 2020  through
May 31, 2021 for our NFB of SC affiliate. We are currently 13 and would like
to be in the top 10 or higher. One of our members would like to see us as an
affiliate contribute $1,500 to PAC each month between chapters, divisions,
individuals and our NFB of SC affiliate. If you join PAC, your name will be
entered into a drawing for a $100 visa gift card. If you increase your PAC
donation, your name will be entered into a different $100 visa gift card
drawing. I have a list of chapters, divisions, and individuals who are on
PAC at this time. On June 1, I will ask the national office for another list
which I will use to have the two drawings on June 1. There are many ways to
give. Below, is a little about PAC.

              Thank you for your interest in the National Federation of the
Blind's Pre-Authorized Contribution (PAC) program. This program allows you
to contribute to the NFB through recurring monthly donations. These can be
direct withdrawals from a checking account or charges to a credit card.
Please contact pac at nfb.org <mailto:pac at nfb.org>  with any questions. Thank
you for your generosity.

              You can go to https://www.nfb.org/pac to complete the online
form.

              You may also call the national office at 410-659-9314
extension 2622 or email PAC at nfb.org <mailto:PAC at nfb.org>  with questions.

              There are several chapters and divisions within our state who
are on PAC and we are grateful for those contributions. There are
individuals who are on PAC and we are appreciative of those members who give
each month. As an affiliate, we are averaging $17.41 per person and less
than 10% of our members are on PAC. Let’s see if we can increase those
percentages to over $20 per month and have at least 20% of our members on
PAC. I appreciate you considering to get on the PAC plan or increasing your
donation each month!

 

              Support A Local Vender

Final Thought:

“Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time.
We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.”
—Barack Obama

 

NFB Pledge - I pledge to participate actively in the effort of the National
Federation of the Blind to achieve equality, opportunity, and security for
the blind; to support the policies and programs of the Federation; and to
abide by its constitution.

 

NFB One Minute Message - “The National Federation of the Blind knows that
blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every
day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations
create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life
you want; blindness is not what holds you back.”
