Barbara,
Something weird is going on in cybespace.
I sent the scholarship application to the list today, and the attachment
went through just fine.
I am not savvy enough in such matters to understand why some are going and
some not, but thought I'd point it out for the pondering of someone who
might be!

We discovered last week when I tried to send the wave files of the songs
that the lists strip out the attach;ments.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you zwant;
blindness is not what holds you back.

>> The National Federation of the Blind 2015 convention will take place July
5 through July 10 in Orlando, Florida. Because affiliate resources are
restricted, those chosen to receive help will receive partial assistance
only. Please complete this form and the letters requested and return them to
the president before April 15. Requests received after that date will not be
considered. If you have questions about the form or the process, contact me
by Email peduffy63 at gmail.com <mailto:peduffy63 at gmail.com> or call (614)
935-6965, for information or help. Those seeking assistance to attend their
first national convention are asked to apply for assistance from the
Jernigan Fund. We will look with much more sympathy on requests for
assistance of first-timers who enclose their application letters to the
Jernigan Fund. Consult the January, February, or March issues of the Braille
Monitor for application instructions.
>> If you request cash assistance, you will have to sign an expense
reimbursement form, which you can get from the president. Without a signed
blank form that we can fill out with the amount of cash granted, we cannot
advance any funds. If you are requesting help with transportation only, so
that we can buy your ticket without your receiving the money directly, you
need not obtain and sign the expense form.
>> Whatever assistance you are requesting, please attach a letter
explaining why you wish to attend the convention and what you hope to
accomplish as a result. If we should know about extenuating circumstances
before making a decision about your application, please explain them
briefly. No one applies for assistance without financial need, so this
request is for information about extraordinary needs only.
>>
>> Please speak to your chapter or division president, and ask him or
her to send me a letter of support for your application. If you are not yet
a member of the National Federation of the Blind of Ohio, please call me for
an interview by phone.
>>
>> Please submit all materials by Email if at all possible. Information
sent by US mail will be accepted, but faxing is not an option.
