[VABS] VABS Fundraising at State Convention

[Christopher O'meally]

Well, I have found that the trick is to see what is trending around
membership, like a commen thing that people may or may not be
interested in, or what is popular right now, and try to see if we can
sell or rafle that thing.  Like I know a lot of chapters raffle for a
fourth gen apple tv, and they aren't too expensive.  Some people sell
flash drives, ear buds, braille uno cards, I have a long list.  if you
would like me to throw out all of my ideas, feel free to request and I
will.
