I have received Kenneth Jernigan Convention Scholarship Fund raffle tickets from Committee Chairman Allen Harris and the Kenneth Jernigan Convention Scholarship Program Committee.  You can purchase a ticket for ten dollars.  You can even purchase more than one ticket for ten dollars a ticket.

If you are the winner of this drawing, you will receive round-trip air transportation for two to and from Orlando, Florida, for the National Federation of the Blind's National Convention in July 2016. You will also receive lodging at that year's convention hotel for seven days during the convention. You will receive registration and banquet tickets for two. In addition, you will receive a cash prize of $1,000. On the other hand, if you don't win, but you sell the winning ticket, your chapter will receive $500. You do not have to be present to win.

I need help from all of you to do this.  If each member just bought one ticket, we can accomplish our goal.  I am asking all chapter presidents and board members to sell these tickets to your chapter members by May first.  Your board member can then bring the money with them to the May board meeting to give to me in person instead of having to mail them.

I have tried mailing these tickets to chapters in the past with tickets getting lost in the mail.  I really would rather not risk this as we are responsible for the tickets.
