[New-hampshire-students] Cover letter for Program Ad Book

[Marie Johnson]

Hi folks,
Attached and pasted below is the revised cover letter that I did up a while ago to promote ads for our convention book. Granted, at the last Board meeting, we spoke of not doing an ad book this year, but that is only if it is going to cost us more to produce it than it brings in. I feel strongly that if we send out the enclosed letter, with changes to the appropriate business names that are currently written, we may get a greater response.  
The world of electronic mailing has opened up huge opportunities for us to raise moneyfor the organization, so please lets take advantage of it!

Depending on the outcome, which  we can track through Lucille, we can decide on the formation of the book for 08, which will be discussed in our upcoming phone conference.



Thanks

Marie

Dear friends of the NFB OF NH:

 

Each year for our state convention, we print an annual convention program book and offer advertisement space to local businesses and residents. The profit from these ads will assist our organization in providing essential services and scholarships to the blind in the state of New Hampshire.  

We are writing to ask if you, as a NH Eye Care Professional, would like to purchase a $5.00 ad in our program book or, if you prefer, larger ads are available to showcase your specialty business card or logo! (See ad information below).

A $5.00 ad places your name under the silver booster list of supporters.  

By placing an ad in our Convention Program Book, you will help the NFB-NH: 

* Provide outreach, peer support and mentoring. 

* Provide scholarships to blind students.

* Provide resources and contact information to those who have recently experienced vision loss, or who are blind so they know what is available in the community-at-large. 

* Bring important speakers, presentations, NH resources & organizations to our state convention. 

* Provide resources and contact information to all business professionals, such as yourselves, State Agencies, Lions Clubs, Vision Specialists, etc. 

 

Program Book Description:  First Five Pages will be NFB Organization Information. Centerfold will be Conference Agenda. Remaining Portion of Program Book will contain advertisements. Program Book will be 8-1/2" by 5-1/2".

 

* Full Page Ad $75.00

* 2/3 Page Ad $50.00

* 1/3 Page Ad $25.00

Please contact Lucille Lynch to see if page you want is available.

 

We need your support!

The National Federation of the Blind of New Hampshire (NFB-NH), which is a state affiliate of the National Federation of the Blind, has served the blind and visually impaired in New Hampshire for 50 years!
