At this point, we only have a little over $1000 for this year’s scholarship class, not counting the Kline Scholarship since that is not decided by the scholarship committee. I know some of your chapters have made donations. Others may be planning on doing so closer to the convention. In a separate message, I have asked for each chapter and division to donate toward the scholarship program. Now, I am turning this request to our individual members. As you can see, our donations are incredibly low this year. Can we all dig deep to ensure that this year’s class is not slighted by low donations. Last year, we had a total of $5925, not including Kline. You know how we say “Teamwork make the dream work.” This is a prime example of that idea. Let’s be a team that will make these student’s dreams come true with our support. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Checks can be made payable to NFB of SC with scholarship in the for line. Donations are also accepted by going to our website <a href="http://www.nfbofsc.org">www.nfbofsc.org</a>, and using the donate button to make a secure PayPal donation. Again, please put scholarship in the comment field. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thank you in advance for answering this call to action!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Shannon Cook<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Member, National Federation of the Blind of South Carolina<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The greatest investment you can make in this world is kindness.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Shannon Cook<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Member, National Federation of the Blind of South Carolina<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The greatest investment you can make in this world is kindness.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
