[Nfb-fundraising] Fundraising at Convention & Possible Meeting

[Joe Orozco]

Dear fundraisers,

    I hope my note finds you doing well, and please forgive my inability to 
keep up with the duties of keeping the list active.  Graduating and getting 
ready to host convention tend to keep you on your toes.

    I was wondering if any chapters, affiliates or divisions were interested 
in sharing what they were planning to do in the way of fundraisers at 
convention.  Perhaps you might inspire another grooup to run their own 
project at a future gathering?  Also, it might be good to knoww what to look 
forward to during that week.  My student division will be hosting Southern 
Strums, a musical talent show designed to give guests an opportunity to meet 
and get to know each other in a relaxed atmosphere.  Though not exactly a 
fundraiser, we are hosting a goal ball tournament for which we will charge a 
small fee to register, but our objective there is mostly for students and 
adults alike to come out and have a good time.

    While I have your attention, I am also interested to know if anyone 
would care to meet informally to talk about successful fundraising 
techniques.  Unless there is a grant writing seminar of which I am not aware 
of, I think it would be good to include such a discussion within this casual 
meeting, perhaps over a meal or something.  Anyway, let me know if anyone is 
interested so that we can look at possible dates and times.

    We're all excited to see you guys in Dallas, and I wish you well in 
whatever fundraising endeavor you undertake.

          Sincerely,

          Joe Orozco
