What type of work do I mean you wonder? Well, every time we hold fundraisers where individuals donate, I have to collect all those donations, track them, and then make the final payment. But this type of work for a fundraiser like this is a true joy because this is the heart of the NFB - working in our communities to help promote what it really means to be blind and show others that we are fully integrated members of society. In this case, we have the added benefit of helping people who are in a really bad situation and really need help. So with that said, not only will I do the backend work to make this happen (with a huge smile), I'm going to up the ante (yes I used to play poker) and donate $50 to the project. I also have two boxes of crossword puzzle books for 4th and 5th graders (15 books for each grade</span><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><span>level) that I promised the Springfield Chapter I would contribute. The Chapter has changed to making a financial donation due to COVID logistical issues, but I will still donate these books.</span><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><span></span><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><span>Cheryl gave a goal of $500, which is an awesome goal. But I know the generosity of this affiliate because I have seen it in action on other fundraisers, so if I was sitting at a poker table right now I would be willing to bet that the NFB of Ohio will exceed that goal. As Cheryl said donations by check from individuals, chapters, divisions, etc. can be sent to Todd Elzey, Treasurer National Federation of the Blind of Ohio, 3779 Waterbury Dr., Dayton, OH 45439. If you would prefer to send money electronically, you can do so via Zelle or Paypal at treasurer@nfbohio.org.</span><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><span>Just make sure no matter how you donate, that you include a note indicating that the donation is for the Community Service fundraising project. If for some reason you can't add the note to the donation, you can also send me an email with the donation details and I will make sure it gets credited properly.</span><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><span></span><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><span>Let's go build the Federation and contribute to our communities as the same time!</span><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><span></span><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><span>Todd Elzey, Treasurer</span><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><span>National Federation of the Blind of Ohio</span><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><span></span><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite"><span>On Sun, Sep 26, 2021 at 5:29 PM Eric Duffy via Ohio-Talk < ohio-talk@nfbnet.org> wrote:</span><br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite"><span></span><br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite"><span>How many days until Christmas Soul Sister?
