Blind Friends! What do we need to raise money for?? According to your
letters, we do not need any money or any help because we are so superior to
our seeing friends. The NFB stopped the free bus passes and the traffic
sound systems. We do not advocate for free high speed Internet services that
the blind can communicate. Oh we need that either, because less than 10
blind use the senior services. You even told me that a NFB blind could drive
his car for 10 years, better than the seeing persons. They can even do
better fraud, running around while leaving their guide dog at home. What a
wonderful NFB Senior group you all are. Why does not any of the better
people organize a decent e-mail reply/ Good Night NFB
My Love of Aloha to All really blind, not the fake ones. h.g. pink Honolulu
Let me hear it!!!

>Raise Your Money!
>
>"Raise Your Money! Raise Your Money!? Our President, Dr. Maurer,
>loves to tell me that. I call it Maurer?s Mantra, and I think we
>know why it must be our mantra. When we raise money, we help all blind
>people raise expectations. ?Raise Your Money!? increases
>real options and real opportunities for blind people from 2 to 92. We
>know what this organization does for so many. And we know,
>instinctively, how important it is to ?Raise Your Money!?
>It?s easy to say, simple to repeat, but it must be our mantra in
>March. As promised in the previous issue, I have finally gotten off
>the dime myself. I have begun asking my friends, family members, and
>associates with whom I work for contributions. I?ve asked them
>to help me ?Raise My Money!?. We are already well into the
>month of March and we are a little over three months away from our
>second annual March for Independence. It will truly be a Walk for
>Opportunity. It is the spectacle which culminates our annual
>Imagination Fund drive. If we begin right now to educate those with
>whom we are in contact every day, the March will not only be the
>culmination of a wonderful public awareness and fundraising campaign;
>it will be a real celebration of the significance of the National
>Federation of the Blind. It will be a testament and a tribute to the
>work we all do. To the work YOU all do when you ?Raise Your
>Money!? It?s easier than you think. Just ask one or two
>people every day. Every day. Every day. Strive to be part of the top
>ten money raisers. ?Raise Your Money!?

>"If you don't ask, you won't get." This is one thing anyone who
>knows Joe Ruffalo has heard him say. Joe is the president of our
>New Jersey affiliate, a National Board member, the voice and
>inspiration of http://thruoureyes.org/ thruoureyes.org
Internet radio show, and our NFB
>Imaginator of the week. Many people in our Federation know
>Joe. Some of you might be thinking that it's easy for a guy with
>an outgoing personality to raise money. In truth, Joe has a
>secret and here it is...Joe uses all of the March for Independence
>tools! Mini March cards, Imagination return envelopes, letters
>sent via snail mail, and the online e-mail tool, Joe takes advantage
>of everything in the March tool kit. There is his secret, and
>to-date Joe has collected well over $1,600. In fact, on any
>given day, the Outreach office at the National Center is sure to
>receive at least one donation naming Joe Ruffalo as the
>Imaginator. Joe's advice is to ask. Getting a haircut,
>ask; dropping off at the drycleaner, ask; doctor's appointment,
>ask. Go right now to the March for Independence tool
>kit

> 119 Days Until We March!

>Photo: Hilton Anatole Hotel, Dallas Texas
>There are just 119 Days until the National Federation of the
>Blind wakes the City of Dallas with our second March for
>Independence - A Walk for Opportunity. As the sun begins to shine
>on Wednesday, July 2, Federation members, their
>families and friends will leave the Hilton Anatole hotel and head
>1.5 miles towards Victory Plaza, for a very high-tech, midpoint
>Imagination Fund celebration. Imagine thousands of people
>filling the large outdoor, urban setting, gathering in front
>of the American Airlines Center, home of the Dallas Mavericks,
>and listening to the speeches of our President, Dr.
>Maurer, and other Federation leaders broadcasted over eleven
>huge Jumbo-tron style video screens. (Learn more about Victory
>Plaza at the end of this e-newsletter.) Following our
>celebration we will make the second half of the walk back to the
>Hilton Anatole and convene our annual national convention.
>
>More than ?just a walk-a-thon?? our walk for
>opportunity event raises money to support the outreach
>efforts of NFB affiliates and chapters throughout the United States
>and the programs and initiatives of the NFB Jernigan Institute,
>through the Imagination Fund grant program and direct financial
>support. Time is of the essence...register to march, raise your
>money, and join your Federation family for a most excellent and
>exceptional event.

>The Victory Plaza project includes the American Airlines Center ,
>W Dallas Victory Hotel and Residences, the 43-story One Victory Tower,
>high-rise apartments, condominium towers, as well as retail and green
>spaces. Incorporated within the striking architecture of Victory Plaza
>are eleven large, high-resolution LED screens. Eight of these screens
>-- four on each side of the Plaza -- move along horizontal
>tracks to allow for a myriad of configurations and motion
>possibilities. These screens can also be combined in sets of four to
>create 31' x 53' "super screens" with HD resolution. High
>fidelity sound and an extensive theatrical lighting system heighten
>the experience to an immersive level.
