[Ohio-Talk] Convention will be here before you know it!

[Todd Elzey]

Good afternoon Ohio Federationists.  As I sit here and work I came across
Eric's email and as I have said before we have a bit of competitiveness so
I just couldn't let his door prize challenge go by. I too like door prizes
at Conventions although I rarely if ever win them. But they definitely add
some excitement to the event. For those of you who don't know me that well
yet, you will also learn that I tend to be a bit of an optimist at heart
about things getting better when they are not going so well. So, although
this year's convention is going to be virtual due to COVID, I believe we
will eventually, and hopefully sooner rather than later, get back to normal
life where we are doing things together again. In that spirit, I am
offering a donation of $100 in Ticketmaster e-Gift Cards that the winner
can use to purchase event tickets. I will look towards the Committee to let
me know if they would like 4 $25 gift cards, 2 $50 gift cards, or one large
$100 convention prize. Let's have a great convention and go out and build
the Federation!

Sincerely,

Todd Elzey,
NFB of Ohio Springfield Chapter
