[NFBofSC] In Appreciation of Blind Merchants

[Marty McKenzie]

Hello Federation Family,

I whole-heartedly echo Shannon's comments!!! The Merchants went above and beyond the call of duty to ensure that Convention attendees were provided lunch on Saturday and then breakfast on Sunday. Thank you all so much for all that you did!

My Best,

Marty

Subject: [NFBofSC] In Appreciation of Blind Merchants

Hello Federation Family,

I wanted to express again my appreciation for our Blind Merchants Division for their amazing contributions ensuring that convention attendees to the 66th annual NFB of SC State Convention had meals.  Besides assembling 150 snack bags, they made Blimpie Subs lunch boxes that rose above expectations.  The Blind Merchants Division also came in within the week of the convention and was able to provide breakfast to our members on Sunday morning, saving our affiliate $5000 for that meal alone!

So to President Belinda Banks and  all of the merchants who made the meals possible, I wanted to say thank you.

Lastly, I want to thank the Blind Merchants for donating the remaining snack bags to the door prize program.  There were two large boxes that the hotel misplaced when shifting convention materials around, making the amount of prizes significantly less than what was brought.  The generous donation was so gracious and thoughtful.

Let's applaud the BMD for their hard work over the past few weeks!
