If you are not familiar with the work of the Federation, let me provide insight. If it were not for people like you and others giving to our causes as well as our purpose, we would not have the ability to provide, free white canes, advocate for the rights of the blind, assist college students with scholarships, contribute to the development of technology and more. While we're on the subject, for the last two years, my 2018 and 2019 Cleveland first-time members received the Kenneth Jernigan Scholarship Fund to attend the National Convention. So, last year, I ensured that Cleveland would give back a little of what we've received. We as a Chapter and some individuals pay into the monthly PAC Plan. It is my understanding, that a few Chapters have also paid into the PAC Plan for years, like the Greater Lorain County Chapter and the Greater Miami Chapter as well. Congratulations and thank you for the contributions! But, it is the Committee's hope this year, that all Ohio Chapters, Divisions, Committees, Members and individuals will participate to join collectively and individually. The good news is that anyone can provide a contribution. You do not have to be a member of the organization. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'>We are counting on you! <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'>Finally, for your convenience we will gladly take your information that will provide contributions to the Funds of the National Federation of the Blind.
