[Nfb-fundraising] Community TechKnowledge Announces Haiku Grant Contest for Central Texas Nonprofits

[Everett Gavel]

Hello,

The grant opportunity below, I believe, would be open
to a NAGDU affiliate of Texas. It has a category of,
"animal welfare."  The Arts are also a possibility, as
well as any programs y'all have down there that could
fit into the "health and human services" category.  As
I write this, I realize there are *lots* of
possibilities.  Diabetes Action Network, to mention
one.

So, Texans, get to writing!  Haikus are fairly easy.
You could win your Texas affiliate or division or
chapter $2000 - $5000.  Why not at least try?

And it's just a suggestion, but if anyone else felt up
to it, it doesn't matter where you are located--if you
feel up to writing some haiku.  You could then donate
your poem to an NFB member in Central Texas, so they
could enter it.  Just a thought.

To Your Successful Haiku!
