For those of you that don’t know what “PAC” stands for, it stands for Pre Authorized Contributions. This is a national program where individuals or a group of individuals can have funds pre-approved to be contributed to the National Federation of the Blind as little as $5 a month ($0.17 a day). That is the same as five WaWa coffees when they are running their $1 coffee special during the summer. Your monthly contributions goes directly into the national treasury for its general fund account. Please note that you don’t need to be a member of the NFB to contribute to the PAC Plan.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>Through the PAC Plan, the following items are covered:<o:p></o:p></span></p><ul style='margin-top:0in' type=disc><li class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>Distribution of free literature<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>funding the Free White Cane program<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>funding the Free Slate & Stylus program<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>funding the NFB scholarship programs<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>funding the BELL Academy program<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>assisting in legal battles such as accessible mail-in voting<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>funding to provide free web hosting to state affiliates and national divisions for their websites through NFBNet<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>And so much more…<o:p></o:p></span></li></ul><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>As of the end of May, Pennsylvania ranked 23<sup>rd</sup> at $604.00 a month with 25 participants.
