The NABS - National Association of Blind Students is having a fundraiser,
clean competition and it will also help raise funds for our division.

 

Here is the information:

 

Bring all your loose change to the NFB Travel & Tourism Division meeting on
July 5, registration starts at 6PM. Meeting starts approximately 6:30 PM and
runs through 9:30 maybe longer.

 

How it works:

                Buckets will be set up on the NABS Exhibit Hall table with
both Braille and print labels showing which division corresponds to what
bucket. While the Hall is open, the NABS board and general membership will
be collecting donations for all divisions. You can donate to your own
division, but remember to put pennies in the buckets of those divisions that
you want to beat. Federationists will be able to hold the buckets throughout
the week, to see how much they weigh, and the NABS Board will be doing
periodic counting for progress each night. Regardless, the final winner will
be announced on Friday, July 10! 

Additionally, each division can voluntarily collect donations during their
division meetings, and then bring those donations to the NABS table the
following day.

The Point System:

Pennies = -5 points (do not put these coins in your division bucket, instead
throw the pennies in your biggest competitor's bucket)

Nickel = 5 points

Dime = 10 points 

Quarter = 25 points 

$1: 100 points 

$5 = 500 points, 

. and so on

                Who Wins:

The division with the most amount of points at the end of the day Thursday
will take home 50% of all profits raised by all divisions, while the
National Association of Blind Students will claim the other half.

 

I am getting very excited, I will find a bucket prior to the meeting, hold
your pennies to put in the competition buckets at the Exhibit Hall. I would
love to Beat NAGDU.
