Dear friend:

Do you know someone who has demonstrated
initiative and leadership in improving the lives
of blind people?  Have you encountered an
organization that focuses its energies on
exemplary programs to benefit the blind?  Perhaps
you, yourself, have contributed substantially to
helping blind people achieve full participation
in society on the basis of equality?  If so, I
want you to know that the National Federation of
the Blind (NFB) has established the Dr. Jacob
Bolotin Award Program, made possible through the
Alfred and Rosalind Perlman Trust, to recognize
outstanding contributions made by individuals
(blind or sighted) and organizations that have
made a significant impact on the lives of blind people.

The NFB will present $100,000 in cash awards at
our 2008 annual convention in Dallas, Texas.  I
am excited about the opportunity to reward those
who believe as I do in the capacity of the blind
and who work with the blind to overcome obstacles
to self-sufficiency and independence.  The
problems of blindness can be solved, and those
who contribute their talents and energies to
advance the independence of the blind should be
recognized and encouraged to continue their
efforts.  I need your help to identify those who
have implemented innovative strategies to help
the blind gain equal access to resources and
information and who encourage the blind to
recognize and use their abilities to live full and productive lives.

Time is running out, but it is not too late to
nominate yourself, an individual, or an
organization for a Dr. Jacob Bolotin Award--all
applications must be received by April 15,
2008.  Please visit the NFB Web site
(<http://www.nfb.org/>www.nfb.org) for more
information about the award and how to
apply.  You may also call the National Federation of the Blind at
(410) 659-9314 or contact us by email at
<mailto:Bolotinaward at nfb.org>Bolotinaward at nfb.org
with any questions you may have or for additional information.

I look forward to congratulating the recipients
of the Dr. Jacob Bolotin Award in person at the
2008 NFB National Convention and to thanking them
for their efforts in creating a brighter future for blind people everywhere.

Sincerely,



Marc Maurer, President
NATIONAL FEDERATION OF THE BLIND
