Wow!! We've been talking 
To Richard so much about signing up for Scrip that William H. decided to
sign up. Thank you William! Now he can buy cat food, people food, candles or
perfume and or a lot of other things and give money to the NFB of Ohio at
the same time.

Thanks Again William H.

Hi Richard,
I do not think you are allergic to Cleopatra.
Remember the raffle conducted by the Cincinnati Chapter. People bid on an
item.
Maybe we should do that at the Convention.
I am talking about a specific raffle item and all the necessary things to go
with it.
Of course people would only bid on it if they wanted it or knew someone else
wanted it. Remember the briefcase or backpack we passed around and people
bid on at the convention in memory of Ron.
People got their name drawn and had to pay ten dollars to pass it on.
Maybe you could arrange that for a Cat Person you know when she isn't here.
I bet Richard would hurry up and say someone else's name so he could quickly
get the Carrier out of his lap.
This is just for you Richard.
Hurry up and sign up for Scrips.
I was a little slow in figuring out how to do this. You just figure out what
you want to order and go from there.
Last month orders had to be in early, I think by the 29th.
We got our Scrip Items in the mail about April 3rd or fourth. It worked
great.
Seriously, Richard, if I can do this anyone can.
But to be fair I wouldn't be able to do this without Shelbi and Eric helping
me.
