>> Hi everyone,
>>
>> I wanted to let some of you know that my mom passed away on Tuesday, June
>> 23, 2009 between 2 A.M. and 3 A.M. in my sister's home in Kerens, Texas. 
>> I
>> will be leaving on Wednesday evening June 24, 2009 heading to Dallas to
>> meet
>> my sister. From there I will be at either her house or we will head to
>> Shreveport, Louisiana for visitation and burial services. The visitation
>> is
>> scheduled for June 26, 2009 from 5 to 8 P.M. at Rose Neath Funeral Home
>> and
>> the funeral service is on Saturday June 27, 2009 at 1 P.M. She will be
>> buried at Centuries Memorial Cemetery where my dad was buried back in
>> April
>> 1976. I will be back in Cincinnati, Ohio late Monday evening June 29 and
>> work for 2 days and be on the bus on July 2 heading to Detroit, Michigan
>> with everyone who is going to the convention. I know this will give a
>> boost
>> for sure.
>>
>> I lost my dad when I was 13 and now my mom at 46.
>> Keep my family in prayer. I have 1 brother and 1 sister in our family.
>> My mom was 77 years old who suffered from Alzheimer's disease and 
>> probably
>> cancer. The type of cancer she had is unknown at this time. I am thankful
>> that she is in peace with no more pain to deal with. I have already 
>> called
>> Dr. Maurer and Joanne Wilson in reference to this death. My mom was a

>> published
>> there. She loved Elvis Presley and Willie Nelson. She also liked Cajun
>> music
>> which was the type of music I grew up with while attending Louisiana
>> School
>> for the Visually Impaired. That was many years ago. My mom made sure that
>> I
>> had a good education at the school for the blind. I am thankful that I
>> learned Braille and also developed independent living skills over several
>> years. I also thank Joanne Wilson for being my mentor while I was
>> attending
>> Louisiana Center for the Blind during 1994-1995.

> Greetings Fellow Federationists:
>
> As you are getting ready for Convention, you may
> be wondering what to PAC.  Well, the answer is
> your check book or at least the account and
> routing numbers to your bank account.  The PAC,
> or the Preauthorized Contribution Program, is one
> of the major fundraisers for our
> Federation.  Each year we bring in about
> $360,000.00 to the organization.  It is the
> program through  which we can make easy, monthly
> donations to our national treasury.  These
> general funds go to support our scholarship
> program, our legal advocacy, our public education
> campaigns, and more.  A person can give as little
> as $5.00 a month or more to the Program.  All we
> need is a bank account from which we can withdraw
> money.  We need your bank's name, bank account
> number, and the bank's national routing
> number.  Your bank can give you all of this
> information with one simple phone call.  However,
> it would be best to get a voided check from you
> because that document has all the info we
> need.  So, just throw that check book in your brief case and come ahead!
>
> Individuals aren't the only ones who can
> give.  Any affiliate, chapter, division, or
> Federation group can get on the Program as long
> as you have a bank account, of course.  We
> can  take donations  from savings accounts as
> long as the account permits external withdraws
> and you give the information noted above.  Again,
> we will need your bank's name, your account
> number, and the bank's national, also known as ABA, routing number.
>
> As usual, We will be running a number of contests
> at Convention.  For the NFB affiliate that has
> the most number of people/entities either start a
> new pledge or increase an existing one,, we will
> award the PAC Rat.  The division with the most
> activity will receive the PAC Mule.  At the
> national board meeting, I will be awarding
> special prizes to the state affiliates that have
> had the largest percentage increase over the last
> year, one award will go to a large affiliate and
> another to a smaller affiliate.
>
> Additionally, we will hold a cash drawing at the
> end of convention for two categories of people,
> those who start a new pledge and those who
> increase a pledge.  The individual whose name is
> drawn will receive $150.00 in cash.  There will
> be two drawings, one for the new pledges and one
> for the increases.  However, if we reach our
> convention goal of increasing annualized PAC
> giving to $400,000.00 or more, the cash prizes will increase to $300.00.
>
> I look forward to seeing many of you at
> convention.  For those who can't come, I look
> forward to your participation through other
> means.  For example, I can email you a PAC form
> if you just shoot me a message at the below email.
