[Ohio-Talk] Request for Volunteer Hours Submission

[Richard Payne]

Greetings Ohio,
We are reaching out to seek your assistance. Many of our members actively
work across the state and nationally, and their hours are tracked to support
our organizational filings. We are being asked to submit the names of
members who are willing to log their volunteer hours. These donated hours
play a crucial role in our national reporting. If you are willing to help
track your work, please provide your name, email, and phone number. The
national team has simplified the process for submitting hours, making it
much easier. After reading the information below, please email me off list
with your details.

Message to the President of the Ohio Affiliate
Dear President of the Ohio affiliate,
Please read this message carefully as it contains important information and

Recognition and Goals
Happy New Year! Thank you for your dedication and hard work throughout 2025.
The audit report on donated services hours clearly shows that our members

this success in the coming year.
Updating the Volunteer List
We are requesting your help in updating our 2026 list of donated services

regularly contribute to our affiliate or chapters.

The National Federation of the Blind advances the lives of its members and
all blind people in the United States. We know 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. Our collective power, determination,
and diversity achieve the aspirations of all blind people.
