[Ohio-Talk] Virtual Candy Means Real Money for NFB Ohio

[Suzanne Turner]

Steve,

Ohio is known for M&M'S, which are sold at the National and State Conventions.

Because of Covid-19, we were unable to sell them this year. So, members, friends and family members are donating virtually the cost of a case to support the efforts of the Ohio Affiliate.

We encourage you to join in on this important endeavor; if you wish to consider donating a case or whatever you like, 

Ohio appreciates your inquiry.

No pressure!

Suzanne

Hi Ohio, 

I have enjoyed reading the virtual candy fund raiser! Would someone mind explaining more about this?

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.

Hello,

Well, since I am a blind vendor and I do not sell things cheaply, I decided I was going to raise the price of my virtual M&Ms to $1.50 a pack. That is what I sell them for out of my vending machines, and I didn’t think I should make any lists for the national Federation of the blind of Ohio. Therefore, I just use the donate button on our website to send $72 to our affiliate.

During the Ohio caucus at the national convention many of us pledged to send money to the affiliate as if we sold candy at the convention. Today I finally put a check in the mail for $50. I was hungry despite the virtual candy, and  I am hungrier after departing with $50. If I worked at Syncrany Financial, I wouldn’t feel the pain. But, I am just a government employee. I am proud to be a part of this affiliate however, and that is why I made the contribution. I hope that if you made the same pledge you got your money to Sherry faster than I have. If not, I hope you will do so soon.
