Hi NFBCF Chapter members and friends,
On Saturday, March 7th, 2015 I am participating in the 26th Annual Sight &
Sole WalkFest to benefit Lighthouse Central Florida. Founded in 1976,
Lighthouse Central Florida is the only private, nonprofit agency in Central
Florida providing vision rehabilitation services to both the blind and
visually impaired. Serving Orange, Seminole, and Osceola counties,
Lighthouse Central Florida strives to help as many members in our community
as possible every year, yet they need our help.
I have enthusiastically committed to being a walk team captain and I am
reaching out to you today to invite you to join me on my team and at the
Sight & Sole Walk. I am doing this effort in honor of NFBF Newsline® and
dedicating my effort to our former chapter and state treasurer, friend and
NFBF Newsline® chair, the late Tom Hartig, who did more than anyone to grow
Newsline® not only in Florida, but nationally. Our team name is NFBF
Newsline® and I have set a reasonable goal of recruiting 10 walkers to raise
money and awareness for Lighthouse Central Florida's essential programs. The
average walker raises about $200, but it is not necessary for you to raise
funds to participate. although I have set a team goal of $500, This goal is
very achievable through social media outlets, an online donation site, and
the use of email blasts.
Please consider joining the NFBF Newsline team and make it your team too.
Here's the information as to when and where and the link to the Newsline®
team is in this e-mail and below my signature. If you don't want to walk,
you can come help me mann the table and talk about Newsline®. If you can't
attend, you can also contribute from the team page at
http://lighthousecentralflorida.kintera.org/faf/r.asp?t=12&i=1130931&g=6272612.
If you need help with any of this, please call me at (407) 312-4821, which
is my cell or e-mail me at flmom2006 at gmail.com. If you donate $25, you get a
really nice T-shirt. I look forward to hearing from you. I waited until the
last minute to ask once again, because most of us wait until the last minute
to do something. Please see information.
