[stylist] Nonfiction Category in Contest

[Peter Donahue]

Hello Robert,

    I wonder if some of the funds raised from the sale of the Lewis Braille 
Coin could be used to sponsor these contests in addition to an Imagination 
Fund Grants.

    Tonight I'm pleased to announce that a long-sought goal for myself 
concerning all things Web design was finally achieved. Mary and I left 
around 2 this afternoon and returned home with just over $600.00 worth of 
audio production equipment including a flight bag to hall it all to Detroit 
in. I expect to produce some of the best NFBWD Meeting recordings the 
division has ever known and will post them to our Web site shortly after the 
national convention. Besides Web Site matters I'll be busy tweaking and 
testing the equipment and packing it for the trip to Detroit. I'll be a very 
busy Pete Donahue during this year's national convention.

Good idea and I'll look into it- Peter and Jim. (Actually, for a couple of
years, we have had a couple of members pitch in and sponsor the cost of some
of the contest costs.)

Good morning everyone,

    I wonder what the possibility of securing an Imagination Fund Grant for
expanding contest categories and securing on-going funding sources would be?

Perhaps some of our other divisions could sponsor various categories and/or
prizes. For example NOPBC might consider sponsoring prizes for our youth
contests or individuals sponsoring other contest prizes and/or categories.
These are just a few ideas.

robert,
a third option worth considering is to seek sponsorship of the contests.
