>> Hello All:
>>
>>
>>
>> Dr. Maurer has asked us to reach out to star affiliates for some 
>> immediate assistance with the March for Independence.  We really need 
>> your help now to call, cheerlead, and support current participants in the 
>> March.  We are calling from Colorado, we are calling from the National 
>> Center, and we need you to call as well.
>>
>>
>>
>> There are over 600 folks that need to be called.  We are asking a few 
>> star affiliates to take responsibility of 100-200 calls.  We will send 
>> each call team a list of names and phone numbers, as well as a script for 
>> the call.
>>
>>
>>
>> In a nutshell, you will simply be asking how the participant is doing, if 
>> they need any assistance, or if there is anything we can do at all to 
>> help them in their fund raising effort.  That's it!  Very simple!
>>
>>
>>
>> You will be calling to encourage your colleagues.   This can be a great 
>> after chapter event.  Have pizza, bring cookies, and most importantly 
>> have fun.
>>
>>
>>
>> The information that you collect can be forwarded to Kristi Bowman at the 
>> National Center via kbowman at nfb.org or by calling (410) 659-9314, ext. 
>> 2408.
>>
>>
>>
>> Please let me know if you would be willing to organize a call center for 
>> this project.
>>
>>
>>
>> The entire March for Independence team wants to thank you in advance for 
>> participating with us to make this year's Motor City March a very 
>> successful event!  Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
