[Ohio-talk] Dayton

[Payne, Richard L (GE Capital)]

            This Saturday December 8th. The Miami valley chapter had our
first jazz explosion. I got several calls about this event asking just
how it promotes the nfb.  There are so many ways of doing just that. We
had a couple that attended there first convention this year. The first
thing that came to my mind is that blind people can play and work beside
the sighted world. We raised money and demonstrated that the nfb can put
on large fundraisers and at the same time had a lot of fun.  The people
who attended saw members working hard and promoting this event.  

Ken one of our new members   and his band was outstanding. Dr. Smith
boosted the crowd like only he can.  Wanda also song a couple numbers. 

We had free pizza, chicken and chips. This event was great. Did I say
great? Positive Payne
