[Ohio-talk] The Final Report From The "Drive For Seventy-Five" NFB OF OHIO Campaign Committee

[Smith, JW]

Dear Nfb Of Ohio Family, Friends and Colleagues:

Our Treasurer Sherry Ruth tells me that we raised to this point about 6 thousand 904 dollars and some cents for our campaign to help provide assistance to those attending our historic 75th Convention to be held in Orlando Florida this year.

I say to this point because, the possibility yet exist for even more funds to come in even this week.

Last week I sent a separate email to my Committee members thanking them for working with me on this very rewarding and worthwhile endeavor.

Please join me one more time in thanking the Committee wich was comprised of Sheri Albers, Mike Anderson, David Cohen, Cheryl Fields, Annette Lutz, Mark McClain, Walter Mitchell, Rene Payne, Tom Ruth and Colleen Roth.

It was ajoy and privilege to work with each of them and I can tell you that we worked in harmony and concert for the entirety of the campaign effort!

Although many of our original idea's did not come to fruition, we kept on doing whatever we could reasonably do to make our final total as much as was possible.

I feel confident that because of our efforts, their will be a few more ohioans in Orlando this year that might not have had the opportunity to attend this historic Convention!

Thank you all for allowing me and especially President Duffy and the Board to serve you in this capacity and I wish each of you well and please be Blessed as we go forward as an affiliate!

Jw
