[Ohio-Talk] Quick note.

[Richard Payne]

Dear members, I know I often write about the weather, and today is no
exception-it reached 94 degrees. Thankfully, my new central air conditioning
is keeping the house cool. I hope you have been reading the messages sent
through the list, as they contain helpful information for you and the
affiliate. With the convention only 64 days away, we should all be making
plans to attend. Chapters, divisions, and individual members should also
prepare to contribute to the PAC Plan and Money for the Movement. Please
consider bringing door prizes so everyone has a chance to leave with
one-perhaps Annette and Misty will not remove my name again this year!
Chapters and divisions must send me a report, even if they choose not to
submit a gavel report, and pay the per capita dues of a $10 flat fee plus $1
for each member. Reports and dues are due one week before the state
convention; late submissions will incur a $25 fine.

Now for a little fun: here is the first contest. To qualify for the prize,
you must be registered for the convention. Once you have registered and
reserved your room, you may enter. The prize is $100 in spending money,
which will be awarded in person at the convention; you must be present to
receive it. To enter, answer this question: What is the process for
onboarding new members into the Federation? Email your answer to me by noon
on Saturday, September 5, 2026. Good luck!

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.
