[Ohio-talk] Flying Pig BLT Station

[Sheri Albers]

Spring has sprung and so are the plans for the Cincinnati Flying Pig
Marathon! Mark your calendars for the morning of Sunday May 7, and gather
your friends and family to volunteer for 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 out Puffs tissues to them 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!

 

Here are the instructions to register as a volunteer:

1) Follow the direct link to our online volunteer registration site:

Thank you everyone and Let's go build the Federation!

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.
