[nfbwatlk] Convention Items

An I-touch is an Apple product that plays music and videos.  It is like an mp3 player, shapped like a small slim cell phone.

Listers, 

  

Well, since I haven't seen anything on the list about this, thought I'd 
share some information with all.  Some of us met via phone last week to 
discuss the short term funding and convention activities. Seems we are 
starting to need to come up with more fund raising ideas to keep 
providing grants for conventions and other NFB functions.  In short, 
like the economy, we are down, but not out.  (grin.) 

  

So, we came up with a quick turn around drawing fund raiser.  We're 
going to sell tickets prior to our October 22, 23 and 24, 2010 
convention.  The tickets will be sold to enter the purchaser into a 
contest for a third generation, 64 gig I-touch.  Mike Mello from the 
Seattle chapter will obtain the I-touch, and the winner will be selected 
at the banquet at the convention.  Each chapter will get tickets, per 
the numbers Mike Freeman has distributed, so that we can keep track, and 
determine the winner.  The tickets should have space for contact 
information for anyone entering the contest.  Each ticket will sell for 
$5.00.  So, as soon as possible, tickets will be available. 

  

On another  note, we plan an auction for the convention as well.  As has 
been pointed out to me, this is a money maker that we have, and we don't 
have to seed the event with affiliate money.  Donations should be 
brought to the convention, and we hope to have a successful auction this 
year. Some folks make things, others obtain items from local businesses, 
and we can make as much money as folks are willing to part with, or I 
can squeeze out of you. (grin.) 

  

So, be thinking of what to bring to auction, and each chapter might want 
to get going to print tickets for the I-touch drawing.  Questions?... 
Write me off list, and I'll try to get an answer for you. 

  

Enjoy the summer, and help us continue to strengthen the NFB in 
Washington State. 

  

/s/.
