[Dave Allen]

Hi!

Thanks for looking into this for me.

I think I will be better served by finding opportunities to follow the
stream.

Subject: [Nfbwv-talk] Last Call for Jernigan Tickets

I am sending the below message again to request your assistance with the
selling of raffle tickets.  Only 3 of the 6 chapters have purchased tickets
with a total of 6 tickets purchased.



Greetings Fellow Federationists,



As most of you are aware, we established the Kenneth Jernigan Convention
Scholarship Fund at our 1998 convention in Dallas, Texas. The support from
members and friends has been both generous and enthusiastic. The committee
is again sponsoring a limited edition raffle to raise money for the Kenneth
Jernigan Fund. The ticket cost is ten dollars. This drawing will yield at
least $10,000 net for the Kenneth Jernigan Fund.



You might ask, "What's in it for me?" Here is what's in it for you. 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 National Convention in July 2017. 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 am not going to mail tickets to each chapter to sell as I do not want to
take the chance that they might get lost in the mail as we are responsible
for paying for any tickets that aren't submitted.  Instead, if you would
like to purchase some tickets, please send your money/check to me so I can
submit it along with your tickets when I attend national convention.  As I
will not be submitting the tickets and the money to the Kenneth Jernigan
Scholarship Fund Committee until July, please make any checks payable to me,
Charlene Smyth, so you will not have an outstanding check for so many
months.  I will then cash your check and put the money with your ticket
stub, which I will complete for you, and submit to the committee.  My
mailing address is:



401 East Olive Street

Apartment 1-A

Bridgeport, WV  26330



(Please do not make your check payable to the NFBWV as it will make more
work for Marcus who will have to deposited into our state account and then
Marcus will have to issue a check to me.)



Please be assured that I will endorse the back of the ticket stubs with your
chapter name so the committee can send your chapter $500 should the ticket
you purchased be the winner.



The committee is counting on West Virginia to help build the Kenneth
Jernigan Fund so we can accomplish the goals Dr. Jernigan set forth for us.



I am also counting on all of you to help me sell all of our allotted tickets
so West Virginia can be proud that we did our part to support our national
movement.  We usually receive 60 tickets.  As we have six chapters, it would
be greatly appreciated if all chapters could sell/purchase ten tickets.



Chapter presidents and board members, please discuss this further with your
chapter members and keep me updated.



If possible, I would like to sell all tickets by June 1 so I can have time
to have a sighted person help me fill out your tickets.



I sincerely appreciate all of you and all you do for our affiliate.  We
wouldn't be where we are if it weren't for all of us working together.



Charlene
