As you know, last February our Membership voted to conduct a fundraiser. Akeela Cade and I was appointed co-chairs. Many of us was concerned that seemingly all of our affiliate’s divisions and local chapters were hosting fundraisers seemingly every month. We discussed how having a fundraiser might not work prior to the national convention due to having to compete with everyone else, so we voted to host our drive after the convention was over. This proved to be a good idea as our first fundraiser, we are proud to say, was a success.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> We wish to say Thanks, thanks, thanks, to all of you who supported us! We could not have been successful without <b>you</b><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> As you know, we partnered with other NFB chapters/divisions/nonprofits. Those who agreed to partner with us received 25% of the proceeds taken in by members of their group. With that being said, Excluding the 25% made by our partners, our gross proceeds including donations is $2,000. Once all moneys are sent to our <br>Secretary Treasurer, our total raised will be $1,400.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Prizes are being sent to:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Ikramullah Ikramullah of Cincinnati Ohio $100<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Glen Arnold, Cincinnati Ohio $200<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>And first prize to:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Dana Owen, of Cincinati $300.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Note: Our President desires that we host this fundraiser on an annual basis. Only a few of our 29 nmenmbers supported us favorably. But, now that you see what a hand full of folks can do, we are looking forward to everyone doing their best moving forward. Collectively, we can do it! The NFB motto is “live the life you want” That means also you are expected to do your part<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
