[Arizona-students] PAC-ing for Convention

[Scott C. LaBarre]

Greetings Fellow Federationists:

As you are PAC-ingfor Convention, I want to 
remind you about the exciting PAC Program we will 
be conducting at this year's Convention.  PAC, or 
the Preauthorized Contribution Program, is one of 
the major fundraisers for our Federation.  Each 
year we bring in about $360,000.00 to the 
organization.  It is the program through  which 
we can make easy, monthly donations to our 
national treasury.  These general funds go to 
support our scholarship program, our legal 
advocacy, our public education campaigns, and 
more.  A person can give as little as $5.00 a 
month or more to the Program.  All we need is a 
bank account from which we can withdraw 
money.  We need your bank's name, bank account 
number, and the bank's national routing 
number.  Your bank can give you all of this 
information with one simple phone call.  If you 
have it with you, it would be best to get a 
voided check from you because that document has all the info we need.

Individuals aren't the only ones who can 
give.  Any affiliate, chapter, division, or 
Federation group can get on the Program as long 
as you have a bank account, of course.  We 
can  take donations  from savings accounts as 
long as the account permits external withdraws 
and you give the information noted above.  Again, 
we will need your bank's name, your account 
number, and the bank's national, also known as ABA, routing number.

There is some exciting news!  As most of you 
know, this year's convention will be streamed on 
the Web.  If you are one of those listening on 
the web, you can get on the PAC Program or 
increase your pledge.  We will have a link to the 
PAC form that you can fill out and then email 
back to us.  Please stay tuned to the the live 
stream for information on how you can participate.

We will be running a number of contests at 
Convention as well.  For the NFB affiliate that 
has the most number of people/entities either 
start a new pledge or increase an existing one,, 
we will award the PAC Rat.  The division with the 
most activity will receive the PAC Muel.  At the 
national board meeting, I will be awarding 
special prizes to the state affiliates that have 
had the largest percentage increase over the last 
year, one award will go to a large affiliate and 
another to a smaller affiliate.

Additionally, we will hold a cash drawing at the 
end of convention for two categories of people, 
those who start a new pledge and those who 
increase a pledge.  The individual whose name is 
drawn will receive $150.00 in cash.  There will 
be two drawings, one for the new pledges and one 
for the increases.  However, if we reach our 
convention goal of increasing annualized PAC 
giving to $400,000.00 or more, the cash prizes 
will increase to $300.00.  We will also  have a 
contest  for those signing up through the Web, 
but you will have to stay tuned for those details.

I look forward to seeing many of you at 
convention.  For those who can't come, I look 
forward to your participation through the Web.
