[Nfbofnc] Lincolnton County chapter requests advice from otherchapters

[Debbie]

Hi, Lee,

As far as speakers go, what comes to mind are people from civic 
organizations like the Junior League or Lions club, and agencies like the 
Red Cross, Division of Services for the Blind, teachers of the visually 
impaired, United Way and SSA.  Or, possibly someone from Hospice.  If you 
have former Veterans, you might have someone from the VA come and speak.

Our chapter has had yard sales, a pancake breakfast, 50-50 drawing tickets, 
and Belks charity days.

Finally, perhaps some of your members who went blind recently had 
interesting jobs in the past.

Congratulations on what will prove to be a rewarding experience for all 
concerned,

Debbie
