We have literature there and they have talked with many people about the NFBI and abut blindness. Our costs for doing this event are in the neighborhood of $500. We would appreciate any donations that people would like to make to help cover these costs to be sent to the NFBI as soon as possible. You may do it online through PAYPAL or send a check to the NFBI post office box. Please mark donation with “DD Council EVENT”. Online may be done at NFBI.Org/donations<o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Aptos><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> You may send a check to P.O.
