[Ohio-talk] Scrip Ordering

[eric duffy]

The next Scrip order will be released at 9:00 AM.  on January 9.  
Please understand that the National Federation of the Blind of 
Ohio cannot be responsible for orders that are not received.  So 
if your order is mailed to you and if for any reason you do not 
receive it, we cannot replace the cards and we cannot refund your 
money.  This is a program to raise funds for the organization, 
and although we appreciate your participation, we cannot ensure 
your cards.  The postal service does not cover the mailing of 
gift cards through any insurance program.  The best we can do is 
to send them certified mail receipt  requested.  Even this is not 
a guarantee however.  It certainly improves the chances your 
order will arrive.  This method of mailing will cost roughly $5.  
So if you order cards you must let our
scrip coordinators know how you want to receive them.  They can 
be sent by regular mail.  They can be sent by certified mail at 
your expense, or you can pick them up.  If you choose to have 
them sent by certified mail, you must send a check  to Carol or 
Shelbi.  Your order will not be mailed until we know how you wish 
to receive it.  We would prefer that you send an email to Shelbi 
or Carol to let them know how you want to receive your cards.  If 
you cannot send an email please call one of them.
We want everyone to participate but we cannot put the 
organization in a position to loose money.  Financially 
guarantying the arrival of cards would not be responsible to the 
membership, and would be consider a bad practice by the IRS, 
Attorney General, and supporters of the organization.  If you 
have questions or concerns about this policy please contact me by 
email or by phone.  We hope you will participate in the Scrip 
fund raising program.

I wish you all a happy new year, and I look forward to working 
with you as we in the National Federation of the Blind march 
together into 2012.
