[Ohio-Talk] Answers to the Trivia Questions

[Suzanne Turner]

Barbara,

Can you alert National to update that question. I took it from the website.

Yes, I mistakenly put the year. But, the month is correct of April.
Incidentally, it was on April Fools Day.

Thank you all for playing.

This was to get everyone learning about the NFB history. 

Suzanne

The PAC Plan was originally the pre-Authorized Check Plan, but it is now the
PreAuthorized Contribution Plan because you can use debit and credit cards
as well.

You asked what month President Payne first became president, and gave the
answer of 2016, but I believe it was April. 
These are very good trivia questions

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