[Nfbv-announce] How many raffle tickets have you sold?

[Michael Kasey]

Dear Federation Members & Partners,

 

     This is a friendly reminder that our NFBV 2015 state convention is
rapidly approaching and we need everyone's help in selling the raffle
tickets for the grand prize of $2,500. This is an ALL-HANDS-ON-DECK
fundraising effort for the NFBV and we need everyone to step up and help us
raise the necessary funds that will enable the NFBV to continue the very
important work of:

 

1) Advocating for the civil rights of Virginians who are blind.

2) Providing confidence to children and adults who are blind across the
Commonwealth.

3) Offering unique training and skill development thru innovative programs
like the Bell Program.

4) Giving hope to ALL individuals who are blind throughout Virginia by
helping them "Live the lives they want".

 

We believe you may use these above talking points to educate people about
our work and philosophy.  Remember!  The Main reason for this campaign is to
help fund our Leadership program.  

If you have any questions, comments and/or suggestions, please feel free to
call/email Bernie Werwie, NFBV Fundraising Chairman at (540)846-9518 or
bernardwerwie at yahoo.com <mailto:bernardwerwie at yahoo.com>  Thanks in advance
for helping us change what it means to be blind.

 

Cordially,

Michael G. Kasey

President

NFB of Virginia

 

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.
