[Ohio-talk] Flying Pig BLT Station

[Sheri Albers]

Yesterday was Opening Day for baseball and that means it is also time for
the NFB of Ohio to step up to the plate! Our BLT Station Team needs
members. The Flying Pig Marathon is just about a month away, and we only
have 5 people signed up. For the morning of Sunday May 7, we made a
commitment to the Flying Pig BLT Station! For this event, we will line up at
Mile 9 of the Half Marathon, on Madison Road, and cheer on runners and hand
them Puffs tissues as they go by. For this task, the affiliate will get paid
$500! All we need to do is make sure we have 30 members, family and friends
sign up to participate. Please help us raise this money for convention
assistance. 

This was a lot of fun last year, and for those of you who were there, you
will remember how much the runners appreciated us, not only for the tissues,
but for the moral support we were able to provide. This is a great way for
us to give back to the community, while getting the brand of the National
Federation of the Blind of Ohio out in the public!

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 want;
blindness is not what holds you back.
